R Quevain Makaya- interim WCS Project Director.

 

Papa

 

Judicael Tchibinda Tchibinda- a lean, mean, fashion machine. Judi's giraffe-like legs make him the fastest on the runner in the team, and his energy on patrol is boundless.

Guy "Papa" Makanga looks intimidating, but is a real softie when it comes to the kids. One of our original four ecogardes, here he is helping out during an Outeach Program skit at Mangali's Sainte Anuarite Catholic School.

 

Stephanie Souami with turtle

Alain Brice Djimbi Mavoungou, is "the sensitive ecoguard". In his spare time, he likes to write poetry and go for long walks on the beach. Here, he nurses a tern he found covered in oil on one of those long walks.

Stephanie Mahinou Makaya is our fabulous Outreach Program Coordinator. Born in Malembé village and raised in Mayumba, she has a background in traditional dance and theatre and brings great enthusiasm to her work. Souami Nzassi, another of Mayumba's veteran eco-guards, with an enormous leatherback turtle in the Park and a smile that's almost as enormous.
