Swaziland Game Reserve Project
"Quest4Change aims to advance the education of young people living in areas of ecological and scientific importance"
Quest4Change has been working in Swaziland since 2000. Working with local people and the Lumbombo conservancy we aim to help conserve Swaziland's spectacular reserves for future generations.
What's the problem?
Poor management and infrastructure of reserves leads to conservation areas and animals being threatened. This can lead to local communities resenting the presence of the reserves, the result of which is that invaluable conservation areas and their wildlife are at risk of destruction.
How Quest4Change helps
We work with locals, improving the management and infrastructure of four Lubombo conservancy reserves so that the parks are viewed more favorably by local communities, educating them as to the benefits of the reserves and their potential for income generation. This means that these important conservation areas and their wildlife can be preserved for the use of future generations.
Project partners
Quest4Change is working with our project partners in Swaziland supporting the United Nations Millennium Development Goal 7 - Ensuring Environmental stability.
