AWF's Katie Frohardt Participates in "Africa Journal" International Broadcast

AWF's Katie Frohardt was a phone-in guest on the March 22, 2001, edition of "Africa Journal," a television program produced by Worldnet, Voice of America. Broadcast live by stations in 27 sub-Saharan African countries, "Africa Journal" focuses on political, social, health, gender and cultural issues unique and important to Africans.

The program, titled "Tourism and Africa," focused on how African nations not traditionally known for tourism can take advantage of the growing interest in Africa by westerners, and how already established tourist destinations can continue to thrive. In-studio guests included Tewolde Gebremariam, General Manager of Ethiopian Airways-North America, and Mpho Mathope, Vice President of Tourism, Consumer Marketing & Product Development, South African Department of Tourism.

Frohardt, who ran the International Gorilla Conservation Program (IGCP) in Rwanda for two years, currently serves as Program Technical Director at AWF.
