    Study Notes

    Conservation Projects

    • Organized efforts to protect natural habitats, restore ecosystems, and preserve wildlife.
    • Led by governments, NGOs, or local communities.
    • Examples: wildlife protection (e.g., saving rhinos and elephants), habitat restoration (e.g., restoring wetlands or forests), and community conservation (involving local communities in managing and protecting natural resources).

    Ecotourism

    • Responsible travel to natural areas that conserves the environment, supports local communities, and promotes education.
    • Encourages tourists to respect nature while experiencing it.
    • Importance: generates income for conservation projects, raises awareness of environmental issues, provides sustainable jobs for local communities, and minimizes the negative impact of tourism on ecosystems.
    • Examples: Grootbos Private Nature Reserve, Kosi Bay Ecotourism, Thonga Beach Lodge.

    Community Benefits of Conservation

    • Jobs in conservation areas and marine reserves.
    • Local communities run local tourist businesses (e.g., national park tours and overnight stays in villages).
    • Local people can collect resources (e.g., thatching grass, firewood, and medicinal plants) from conservation areas.
    • Ecotourism promotes recycling, energy efficiency, water conservation, and economic opportunities for local communities.
