THE PROJECT
Our project entails the development of conservation education lesson plans for formal and informal youth education. This includes classroom based and outdoor environmental activities. The materials address specific, local and regional environmental issues.
This will enable students and their teachers to identify and elaborate on possible actions to prevent or protect specific crisis. The project’s ultimate goal is to create a community of knowledgeable, empowered citizens.
LEARNING
Long-term change can best be achieved through accelerating change in people’s attitudes towards wildlife. Conservation education is in that way an essential part of field conservation projects. Increasing awareness of the benefits and values of wildlife conservation is becoming easier to achieve as African countries become more connected to the global community.
We work with schools, teachers, educators and young people to instil environmental awareness through innovative, community-based learning experiences. Our youth environmental education programs directly impact children through lessons, Wildlife Clubs, field trips and a range of outdoor activities.
Help inspire schoolchildren to look after our world
Your donation will be used to support our school based conservation education activities, including lessons, wildlife film shows, creative and outdoor activities as well as wildlife clubs and training of local teachers.
With your support we can educate the next generation of conservation leaders, researchers, innovators and responsible citizens.
