The five villages of Seronga, Gunotsoga, Beetsha, Eretsha and Guidigwa lie in a conservation area and within the Okavango Delta. This area, with its unique and fragile ecosystem lies within the internationally recognised RAMSAR area. It is one ( ... )
's greatest wetlands.
Five years ago these five villages formed a trust (Okavango Community Trust - OCT) and applied to Land Board for lease of the community management areas called NG22 and NG23 on the eastern edge of the Okavango Delta. They also obtained hunting quotas from the Department of Wildlife and National Parks (DWNP).

The challenge as seen by Botswana Council of Women is to provide necessary education on the protection of the environment, as there is lack of knowledge on environmental protection issues.
The project seeks to promote the use of a stove that uses ( ... )
ane waste as energy (gel fuel). This stove has low emmissions and is affordable to most households that are presently using kerosene and wood fuel. The gel fuel wont contribute to the 'green house effect' or global warming which many fuels contribute to. The fuel is used in a maintenance free and easy to use cooker.
Eight workshops will be run in Botswana through which education on environment

mal Research Institute, University of Pretoria, RSA. The MPhil component ended successfully in 1998, and its findings are presented in the form of a thesis (Kaunda,1998). The major findings included jackal predation on ungulate afterbirths, predation on neonates, and even attacks on parturient ungulate females. Extraterritorial excursions were commonly witnessed, and these were usually directed
