At APW, we believe that villagers must be empowered with the knowledge and skills necessary to make informed decisions about their natural environments. Indeed, this is the cornerstone of any successful village-based conservation effort. Therefore, APW helps provide support for village leaders and game scouts to attend nationally accredited schools for training in natural resource management. In addition, APW is preparing a series of seminars and workshops for the general village membership to be hosted at the Noloholo Environmental Center.
