Working with Communities
Through engaging with and empowering local communities, the Twinning Project hopes to encourage more people to see the value in the conservation of wildlife and the local environment.

Conservation and People
A key part of the Project is the exchange of ideas, best practice and mutual support between those who protect the Queen Elizabeth Parks, The Rangers.
Through exchange visits, training initiatives and swapping ideas the Project seeks to develop the skills of Rangers so that they are better able to look after and support both the people and wildlife of these two great Queen Elizabeth Parks
