Implement parallel and complementary grants (in conjunction with Fundacao MICAIA in Mozambique) on either side of the Chimanimani transboundary Key Biodiversity Area. Together the two groups will improve networking, skill development and knowledge sharing between the organizations and the communities working on either side of the border. The end result will be better-managed, formal protected areas and more sustainable use of the surrounding buffer zones.
Strategic Direction : 2 Improve the protection and management of the KBA network throughout the hotspot.
