The FoASF displays includes information on Arabuko-Sokoke forest and activities of FoASF. This display is used to educate the public about the importance of forest in particular Arabuko-Sokoke forest and how they can get involved in conserving it.
Many community groups are using different materials in creating their products, some of the material used is wood, which is a very common material in carvings. However in as much as wood is a preferred material it is important for the buyer to find out what type of wood was used to create the products. Some poach wood from the forest for making their curios which is discouraged. This exhibition will also be a good awareness tool about the products that are friendly to the environment and those that are not.
