With the help of the Lotto Fund and Resource Africa, we have developed a “People & Parks Toolkit”. The toolkit is central to a 30 workshop programme inSouth Africa, that is aimed at rural communities. The innovative tools within the toolkit help increase awareness for local communities about ProtectedAreas, their value, the need to conserve and opportunities for economic growth.
