What Children have to say -
When these children were asked the following questions, after experiencing a
Conservation Lesson with Africa Foundation, it was clear that their
perspectives had shifted drastically:
Why is it important to protect animals?
"Because they increase our economy and make us feel better." Dennis
"Because animals are a source of income and they have rights to live like a
human being." Temago
What was your favourite part of your Conservation Lesson?
"Watching wild animals and asking questions." Gofaone
"When I saw a crocodile I was happy because it was the first time." Manga
What can you do to protect the environment?
"I will stop cutting down trees." Thobiso
"I can recycle, not litter." Poloko
Why is CC Africa's & Africa Foundation's work important?
"It teaches people to conserve natural resources." Poloko
"CC Africa helps in building schools, clinics and protection of land and
human life." Economy

"I
have come from those communities that have historically been neglected,
some even forcibly removed to make way for conservation. I joined
the Africa Foundation because I believed it was serious about addressing
the needs of such communities and creating a balance beneficial
to all. Now in a small way, I can help to contribute in finding
solutions."
