Powering conservation
education
Life changing
Changing mindsets through education and awareness-raising is key to the long term safe-guarding of wildlife and the environment. iLearnabout hopes to create a generation that not only is aware of the danger of environmental degradation to the long-term well-being of their community, but also becomes a generation of ‘environmental ambassadors’. Through the resource, iLearnabout also wishes to provide learners and ultimately communities with the tools and competencies to find their own solutions to environmental issues and improve livelihoods in these remote rural areas.
“Education is the passport to the future, for tomorrow belongs to those who prepare for it today.”

Our key partners
Large scale outreach
“An investment in knowledge pays the best interest.”
Our aim is to reach a large number of students across the region, working with key conservation education organisations to do so. Initial beneficiaries will be targeted through our key partners.
For example Wildlife Clubs of Kenya (WCK) have been instrumental in developing initial ideas and are a leading partner both in content and implementation - they reach over 5,000 after school clubs in remote and rural areas. The African Network for Animal Welfare are a key partner with content development and implementation through their 50 schools and wider network throughout Africa. Elsa Conservation Trust works with more than 15,000 children a year, helping to build a better life for them and the wildlife they share their country with through conservation education.
In Zambia, the Wildlife and Environmental Conservation Society of Zambia (WECSZ) have embraced the concept to be used within their 1,726 clubs where 38,280 children are reached through the Chongololo and Chipembele Conservation Club programme.
