https://www.livingdesert.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/Findings-and-Benefits-From-Our-Social-Science-Training-Program-1.jpeg20481536The Living Desert, partnered with Imvelo Safari Lodges, held a Building Community Conservation Success workshop with students from Lupane State University and the National University of Science and Technology in Zimbabwe. Scientists from The Living Desert and Imvelo staff spent four days teaching students theoretical and practical skills, including foundational social science principles, how to create an interview script and knowledge of local culture and conservation projects. For the following three days, students interviewed community members across the communities of Manjelengwa, Emhlabeni, and Vulashaba along the southern border of Hwange National Park.
