These village teams are made up of over 350 volunteers, who are also now supporting anti-poaching work and conservation education/awareness activities.

Here, the organization focuses on sustainable forest management, research activities, conservation education in local schools, and natural resource management training for communities.

These actions include closing some roads near the lake, funding a number of road drainage improvement projects, and initiating a soil conservation education program.

The proceeds from these efforts are used to support conservation education awards and scholarships.

The burgeoning ecological study of the tropics has led to increased conservation education and programs devoted to the climate.
