Bio-diversity

The project aims at sensitising the community about the importance of acknowledging and conserving natural and cultural heritage found in Manyana. Graffiti made on the rock art in the area poses a danger to the cultural heritage of the place as it defaces the art and ruins the overall aesthetics of the place. The education and conservation of the site will allow the community to sustainably utilise the natural resources within the place and accrue benefits from tourism ventures. An educational workshop will be conducted, and this will focus mainly on students and out - of school youth of Manyana. The principle is for them to benefit from the conservation of the natural resources within their area and improve their livelihoods. Through exchange and sharing of information and ideas they will be able to learn about tourism ventures activities and the required conservation management skills. This will promote a feeling of ownership of the resources and help them accrue benefits from the sustainable utilisation of natural resources.
