Reducing Knowledge Gaps for Active Participation of Civil Society in Biodiversity Conservation in the Chimanimani Region

Train local natural resource management committees so they can participate more actively in the implementation of the management plan of the Chimanimani National Reserve in Mozambique; train field rangers and young community members in plant and animal species identification and other aspects of nature interpretation; develop community-based ecotourism initiatives; establish effective measures to mitigate human-elephant conflicts; and create a network among local civil society organizations in the Chimanimani Mountains, on both the Mozambican and the Zimbabwean sides.
