Mitigating climate change impacts by diversifying sustainable livelihoods in Nyae Nyae Conservancy
The context for the project is the remote Nyae Nyae Conservancy, where the impoverished and marginalized, Ju/?hoansi, indigenous San Community are spread over an area of 8,994km². This community does not have access to electricity, proper sanitation or mains water. This remote community (location shown on the map below) also relies heavily on the environment for its survival is already feeling the impact of climate change. They are further constrained by their geographical remoteness, lack of job opportunities, poor communication infrastructure, limited literacy and widespread prejudice.
