Isaac Seme was one of eight USFWS MENTOR Fellows in 2008-2009 from Kenya, Southern Sudan, Tanzania and Uganda working to address the illegal bushmeat exploitation in the Eastern Africa region.
As a MENTOR Fellow from Southern Sudan, Isaac Seme completed his bushmeat field assessment on the illegal bushmeat trade in areas around Bor and Bandingalo National Parks in Southern Sudan. He implemented a national level bushmeat awareness campaign in Southern Sudan and site-level bushmeat campaign in Bandingalo National Park and Bor. His work highlighted the plight of the Tiang, a species that is heavily targeted by the bushmeat trade.
Isaac Seme has worked as a lecturer at the Boma Wildlife Training Center. He is a committed trainer who is always looking for new information and materials to teach the new Rangers who are ex-combatant and who have now been assimilated in the new Government of Southern Sudan.
