THE Kloof Conservancy’s Eco-club programme for Molweni primary schools received a boost in recent weeks with a visit to the schools by the Go Wild mobile unit of the Durban Natural Science Museum (DNSM).

The unit visited Dawade and Sizimisile Primary Schools and eMolweni and Lamula Primary Schools recently. The visits are part of the Kloof Conservancy’s partnership engagement with the DNSM aimed at providing environmental education and awareness to learners in Molweni.

“During the visits, the learners are introduced to some of the more important local species by staff and student volunteers from the DNSM.

“The presentations emphasise the importance of biodiversity, ecosystems, and the urgent need to protect endangered wildlife while at the same time complementing formal natural and environmental science curriculums,” said Kloof Concervancy chairperson Paolo Candotti.

By introducing children to the local biodiversity, Candotti said the programme aims to foster local interest in the environment and inspire the next generation of environmental ambassadors.

“The DNSM is providing an invaluable service to schools across eThekwini with the Go Wild mobile unit as many of the children don’t have the opportunity to visit the museum in the city centre nor the opportunity of seeing many of the featured animals in the wild.”
