Research projects with para-ecologists
A) Overview of programmes, initiatives and organisations
that are currently involving para-ecologists:
Area de Conservación Guanacaste (ACG), Costa Rica
programme of the Area de Conservación Guanacaste (ACG) |
The Future Okavango
www.future-okavango.org |
The Okavango basin in southern Africa with its variety of savannah woodlands and wetland ecosystems linked by the central lifeline of the Okavango River is a global hot-spot of accelerating change and land use conflicts. The river has its source in the rainy highlands of Angola and terminates in the Okavango Delta, the world's largest inland delta and the largest freshwater swamp south of the equator. The Future Okavango project analyses ecosystem functions and services within this trans-boundary basin of high international visibility and high potential transferability of results to other tropical and sub-tropical regions.
The Future Okavango project employs and trains three para-ecologists, based in Angola, Botswana and Namibia, respectively. |
Kakamega Environmental Education Program (KEEP)
