The future of all conservation areas is directly dependant on the public’s perception of these conservation areas. This means that conservation areas and those who have been mandated to protect them have to focus much of their time and resources on maintaining social relevance.
This is particularly important in developing countries where resources for
conservation
most perhaps most importantly in the education of people that surround wildlife preserves.
The maintenance of biodiversity mandates that all state parks carry will be increasingly difficult to maintain as populations alongside parks grow. The opportunities and responsibilities carried by the conservation practitioners and tourism operators to create benefits for local
As a result, the future leaders of local communities are critical to continue and reinforce this growing mutually beneficial relationship between conservation areas and the communities that surround them. Therefore, I believe that very rarely has there been a more important project for conservation than LiC.
KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK
YOU ARE MAKING MUCH MORE OF A DIFFERENCE THAN YOU REALISE

Wow, this is long overdue. LiC have identified the real meaning of “conservation” .
Whilst we recognize and appreciate the contribution made the many dedicated people who do so much to protect our wildlife in designated areas , the real long term sustainability comes in educating the young people from all levels.
Congratulations
Thank you Ralph!
Education is the key to changing the world.
