Environmental
education is becoming increasingly important to the future
of Zambia as pollution and deforestation rapidly spread.
As the Zambian proverb says, it is the people of today who
will determine the future and we need to invest in
environmental education for them. The
main focus of environmental camps is to investigate how the
different aspects of the ecosystem inter-act, so
communicating how modifying one area of our environment,
effects the whole. However,
specific projects would include:
-
Trees:
identification, uses and the habitats they provide
-
Animals:
game animals, conservation, camouflage, food webs, etc.
-
Birds:
identification and habitat exploration
-
Our
local Mini-habitat: the uniqueness
and conservation importance
-
Human
Impact: management and usage of the local
environment.
Environmental
camps can be mixed with other outdoor experiences or can be
the main focus of the camp, depending on the group's
requirements.
