Eco Edu camp, still on hold but will be relaunched
By Janet Anne Cuthbertson | Project leader
Talent of Young Zulu Dancers & conservationists
With so much happening this year the relaunch of the Children's eco-camp "Young Environmental Ambassadors" is still on hold.
But this worthwhile project will be relaunched as one of the most important actions for the protection and indeed the future of our World's environment would be to encourage to support our youth, who passionately honor their natural heritage!
Young Environmental Ambassador courses focus on so many aspects of the natural environment but incorporate also, the very important concept of the youth's cultural heritage. The Zulu dancers are extremely talented and should actually be featured on one of the Talent shows for instance "America's Got Talent"! We will be investigating some options for them too.
We look forward to the accomplishment of this project with great anticipation!

The Children's EcoCamp will be re-launched later.
By Janet Cuthbertson | Project leader
The Children's EcoCamp will be re-launched later. Due to the latent effects of Covid we have decided to rather relaunch our Youth educational projects at a later date.
It is significant that environmental education should reach as many youths as possible, as they are the leaders of tomorrow. Our beautiful country has so much still left to protect and even areas already damaged can be rehabilitated. Opportunities are endless but education is the key.
In the environs of the Isimangaliso Wetland Park, thousands of young people live in rural villages not far from Lake St. Lucia, These children have a very special responsibility to protect the area and this should be through better understanding and participation, and enjoyment of the magnificent lake. Sustainable use of fishing is essential, Protection of the unique sand forest is important or it would be all lost for future generations. The unique biodiversity is found nowhere else in the world. We believe that our efforts will help ensure that youth are prepared to participate in protecting their birthright.
Thank you for also caring!

Our Hope, their future. Youth leaders of tomorrow
By Janet Anne Cuthbertson | Project leader
The future of our World is in their hands! Youth on who’s shoulders rest our hope and all reliance for our environment.
It is critically important to help them gain every insight possible to the wise management of today's world and that which is necessary to sustain a healthy future for themselves and their children and future generations.
The youth that are included in our outreach are significant to the World Natural Heritage Site, Isimangaliso Wetland Park, a haven of beauty and unique habitats some found nowhere else in the world!
The challenge is that the youth of the rapidly developing rural population surrounding this ecological haven, have often not even visited the Park or seen the unique lake and its fragile habitat! This must change! Our objective is to ensure that as many as possible of these children visit the lake during the course to gain an understanding of the importance of protecting the environmental wonderland, while at the same time learning about the area’s ecology, the secrets of the habitat, and why it belongs to each of them and yet, also to the World at large.
Please support their environmental education.
