Notable Community Participation
The communities from not only Bakkie, but also from Alliance will profit from this project, as they are small communities, but the tourism development will be a huge impact on their livelihoods. Locals will be trained to become tourist guides and advocate the unique biodiversity of this area, as well as raising awareness on how they can increase sustainable income generation.
