Structure of Support

In order to fully protect our natural spaces and protected areas, conservation must happen within and on the outside of these areas. This means that in conjunction with improving the security and biological diversity of the existing protected areas, we also need to improve the livelihoods of the people living in the surrounding areas. Protected areas need to benefit these people. These people need to recognise that the loss of these areas would be detrimental to their livelihoods.
