Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

We distributed evaluation forms to patrons following the end of the program, in which we ask a series of questions meant to gauge what the patrons learned, why they enjoyed the program, and also to collect public comments. We expect that patrons will learn something new about African biodiversity, and that maybe their interest in African animals and environment might increase.

Measurable Outcome(s)

100% of respondents said that after watching this program they learned something new about African ecosystems, environment and/or nature. 100% replied that they enjoyed this program because it helped them to increase their knowledge or better understand a topic. 86% replied that this program increased their interest in African biodiversity.
