Centre for African Resources: Animals, Communities and Land Use CARACAL

Environmental education is central to sustainable rural livelihoods and biodiversity conservation in the Chobe District. The goal of this program is to develop a two-tiered educational approach directed at strengthening the capacity of village youth to contribute to environmental education in their village and schools. This is accomplished through the delivery of education modules and activities, under training from CARACAL/VT staff, to enrich the environmental education experience among youth in Chobe schools. This program is an active collaboration between CARACAL, Virginia Tech, and Chobe Regional Education.
