COMMUNITY GARDEN
We are assisting the Otjimboyo Conservancy to become a model project for food production in an arid area. The capacity building and empowerment training provides desperately needed skills and motivation to the inhabitants to consider their plight from a perspective of opportunity, rather than despair.
INVESTING IN ALTERNATIVE LIVELIHOODS
Among our most rewarding projects is investing in improving livelihoods of people living with wildlife, creating alternative food source and income models. We are assisting the Otjimboyo Conservancy to become a model project for food production in an arid area. The capacity building and empowerment training provides desperately needed skills and motivation to the inhabitants to consider their plight from a perspective of opportunity, rather than despair.
This project is a collaborative venture between the Conservation Film Foundation Trust and the Otjimboyo Conservancy Management Committee. The project was started with a grant from the Environmental Investment Funds based in Windhoek, Namibia.
Additional funding for project sustainability and expansion is essential to the success of this initiative.
It will furthermore be the first time where the plight of the community is documented on video, and the solutions implemented shared with the world.

Our combined contribution awards conservation research and environmental protection agencies the recognition they deserve and inspires and supports them to continue their commitment to our planet on our behalf.
