Ousman Joku

My name is Ousman Joku, and I reside in Kunkujang Jattaya Village. I am married and a proud father of four children. My journey in ornithology began with studies at the Abuko Nature Reserve under the Department of Parks and Wildlife, followed by a wildlife training course with Makasutu Wildlife Trust. These experiences provided me with extensive knowledge of birds and wildlife.
