Please help us to ensure, that Botswana remains to be worth a visit, now and in the future<br />
•Tourism is one of the most increasing economic sectors.<br />
•Nature is one of Africa´s biggest treasures.<br />
•People are travelling to Botswana to experience the wild life of animals . But biodiversity is endangered.<br />
•People spend their holidays in Botswana to see the extraordinary beauty of the country but they also experience<br />
children who are underfed, sick, orphaned and without any perspective .<br />
<strong>SAVE</strong> has developed an unique project to merge nature and wildlife protection with children´s education and<br />
health progress. Our goal is to operate effective nature conservation with tourism integrating the local community.<br />
Therefore we are looking for friends and partners which have the same desire. BE PART OF IT !<br />

<strong>SAVE</strong> Wildlife Conversation Fund<br />
Current Projects<br />
<strong>SAVE</strong> is a nonprofit foundation that specifically promotes the global and sustainable nature conservation and<br />
biodiversity.<br />
Principles<br />
“Conservation of biodiversity” as well as “Protection of nature”<br />
To save wildlife and its habitats and to fill people with enthusiasm for the uniqueness of our nature is the goal of<br />
<strong>SAVE</strong>. <strong>SAVE</strong> stands for a peaceful coexistence of man and nature.<br />
It is us humans that destroy and exploit nature and its creatures; therefore, this process can only be stopped by<br />
ourselves.<br />
Vision<br />
<strong>SAVE</strong>’s vision is to prevent wildlife extinction and habitat destruction by promoting peaceful coexistence between<br />
people and wildlife. <strong>SAVE</strong>’s mission is to cultivate generations of conservation leaders by supporting education,<br />
research, and service programs in partnership with local communities that inspire young people to embrace the<br />
value of wildlife coexistence and safeguard their wildlife heritage throughout their lives. (value statement)<br />
Actions to be taken/ measures<br />
<strong>SAVE</strong> does this by supporting conservation education, wildlife research and monitoring, capacity development and<br />
service projects that will aid communities in resolving conflicts in ways that benefit humans and wildlife.<br />
<strong>SAVE</strong> partners with local community leaders and supports participation in our projects by children in order to build<br />
the next generation of conservation leaders.<br />

Republic of Botswana<br />
Botswana nature, wildlife<br />
• Botswana’s protected areas have some of the highest biodiversities on earth.<br />
Elephants, rhinos, buffalos, giraffes, antelopes, zebras, lions, leopards,<br />
cheetahs, wild dogs and many other African animal species live here.<br />
Botswana is an important member of the proposed Kaza National Park. We<br />
support this unique plan with our projects.<br />
• Large parts of Botswana are almost devoid of any human beings. The<br />
Kalahari, a semi-desert that is crisscrossed by wide dry river valleys,<br />
characterizes the country. A wide river opens up into the middle of this<br />
desert: the Okavango. Its source in the highlands of Angola, it carries huge<br />
masses of water into the Kalahari Basin after traveling 1,700 km south. It<br />
does not drain away, but creates a permanent wetland area of channels,<br />
lagoons and small islands. Water lilies, grazing reedbucks, papyrus meadows<br />
and swimming lions - these are the unusual impressions from one of the<br />
richest wildlife areas in the world.<br />
• “Botswana is famous for its wildlife, areas like the Chobe National Park,<br />
Moremi Game Reserve in the Okavango Delta and the Central Kalahari Game<br />
Reserve have a very high concentration of game. The bulk of the Kalahari<br />
desert falls within Botswana's borders and Botswana is home to most of the<br />
world's San (bushman) population. “<br />

Problems<br />
Challenges in Botswana:<br />
•On the outskirts of the nationals parks of Botswana live many poor families as<br />
well as parentless, hungry, underfed, neglected, abused and HIV/AIDS infected<br />
children.<br />
•Many children around the protected areas and across the country do not know<br />
nor have they visited their national parks or seen the wild animals of their<br />
country. Therefore they have frequent fear of ”the wild animals, which are for<br />
the tourists“.<br />
•There is very limited appreciation of the value of wildlife, including the local and<br />
national economic values<br />
•Human-Wildlife-Conflict: Predators commonly leave protected areas, stray onto<br />
neighboring cattle ranches and kill livestock. Livestock often secures the<br />
livelihood of an entire family thus predation poses an existential threat. Many<br />
farmers don’t want to kill the predators but they lack support and knowledge of<br />
how to capture and translocation the predators alive. Hence, because they see<br />
no other options, they resort to guns or toxic baits.<br />

<strong>SAVE</strong> Botswana<br />
Combination of <strong>SAVE</strong> African animals and <strong>SAVE</strong> the Future<br />
We believe that the future of Botswana´s wildlife and unique wilderness areas<br />
will only fully insured if the next generation is committed to conserving it.<br />
Therefore our goal in working with children is for them to develop a lasting<br />
awareness, appreciation and respect for nature and the environment around<br />
them.<br />
To accomplish this goal <strong>SAVE</strong>WCF is partnering with the Central Kalahari and<br />
Makgadikgadi Research Group (CKMRG) to create a Non-governmental<br />
Organization in Botswana, called <strong>SAVE</strong> Botswana.<br />
<strong>SAVE</strong> Botswana is dedicated to conserving the wildlife in Botswana through<br />
wildlife research, capacity development and working with children to bring<br />
them closer to nature and environmental conservation.<br />

Save Botswana - The Children’s Scheme<br />
Conservation Focused Children Development System (CFCMS)<br />
We want to help all children in the centers we have centres in, but target in<br />
particular those children who are impoverished. We will do this by giving them<br />
basics such as food and clothing as well as access to teaching materials such as<br />
books and internet access.<br />
We <strong>SAVE</strong> Botswana which is a partnership between <strong>SAVE</strong> Wildlife Conservation<br />
Fund and the Central Kalahari and Makgadikgadi Research Group, plan to<br />
accomplish this by partnering with the local safari operators in setting up the<br />
scheme: “Community based Children managment System (CBCMS)“.<br />
…. Therefore we want to establish youth centers in conformity with<br />
collaboration with the local community ….<br />
11.04.2012 <strong>SAVE</strong> - Education & Wildlife Conservation Fund 13
Save Botswana<br />
The CBCMS<br />
The Idea:<br />
With our work with children we aim to set up “youth centres” in small rural centers around Botswana´s national<br />
parks. These youth centres will have an “open door policy” with all children aged between 4 to 16 years. The work<br />
with children has four wide ranging objectives, we want to provide them with:<br />
Nature and wildlife education:<br />
To develop and improve the children’s view of their environment, for them to see the potential in it and to spark a<br />
desire to view and protect their wildlife, national parks, and the vast and diverse wilderness areas around them. We<br />
will show children that predators are not things to be afraid of and they need not always be persecuted as is<br />
presently “engrained” within them. We will show the children new perspectives so they see the value of conserving<br />
Botswana’s wildlife. Save Botswana will show them examples of how they can make their own future working<br />
alongside their wildlife. This can be within the Botswana´s Department of Wildlife and National Parks in tourism<br />
working within safari camps or in office based activities, in wildlife research, or in other organisations linked<br />
ultimately to wildlife. We will also show them how they can, even as farmers live alongside wildlife without<br />
necessarily always having to persecute it.<br />

The CBCMS<br />
Essentials:<br />
We want to help all children in the centers we have centres in, but target in particular those children who are<br />
impoverished. We will do this by giving them basics such as food and clothing as well as access to other things such<br />
as toys, books, games and recreational activities.<br />
Mental help:<br />
We want to help children in real need, such as those whom are orphaned for some reason, or are being abused or a<br />
victim in some way by offering support via qualified social worker. In any group of children living rurally in Botswana<br />
today a percentage will have real needs and we aim to locate these children and assist them in improving their life<br />
quality.<br />
Fun and joy of living:<br />
Finally we plan to bring some unconditional “fun and happiness” to the lives of many children living rurally across<br />
Botswana.<br />

Youth centers – children centers<br />
•The youth centers will be established in chosen areas at the outskirts of the national parks.<br />
•Each youth center will be twinned with both a wildlife researcher studying in the immediate area and a safari<br />
lodge/camp close by that is already linked to the community.<br />
•The youth center will be open full day and 5 days a week (Tuesday to Saturday) and additionally for special events<br />
outside of these hours.<br />
•The center will have different kinds of media and toys for the kids and will also provide them with other programs,<br />
like music, games, sports such as football and special events periodically such as parties, talks and trips into the<br />
bush.<br />
•The center will also provide a nutritious lunch for children .<br />
•A qualified social worker will visit each center on a regular basis and will help children with special needs ranging<br />
from extreme poverty, to children with AIDS, orphans or abused children.<br />
•Each center will have a site manager employed from the center and two community volunteers on basic salaries<br />
who will assist the site manager.<br />

Why and how Lodges<br />
Long-term goal: Projekts run self-sufficiently – via a good working partner program =<br />
THE YOUTH CENTER-RESEARCHER-SAFARI CAMP-MODEL<br />
These partnerships are absolutely necessary for the program’s success due to the vast amount of care and<br />
education that will be provided to the children. Each group provides its own experts dedicated to ensuring the kids<br />
at every children center receive the best care, education, and support.<br />
Our first partner program as an example:<br />
• A pilot project at Moreomaoto we have currently, involves Meno A Kwena Tented Camp & Meno A Kwena<br />
Water for Life Project. Meno A Kwena known as a luxurious safari camp has a long standing reputation of<br />
working with the local community providing many with jobs and always seeking to bring about the best<br />
results regarding nature and wildlife conflicts.<br />
• Our two organizations will work together to provide children in and around the Moreomaoto center with care<br />
and education programs. These wildlife and nature conservation programs will teach children and adults how<br />
to work with and preserve their beautiful resources while pursuing future careers in these fields.<br />
The goal is to create a membership system with the shared organization and also to create a benefit for the<br />
Lodges, that for the long term future the project can be sustainable and can run for itself.<br />

• What makes the project sustainable:<br />
• Informal partnership with existing structures at center level, like Community based Organizations, and formal<br />
partnerships with government education structures and schools education clubs.<br />
• Partner- Lodges that provide us support in our children center project will obtain preferred consideration<br />
of travel agencies , e.g. Abendsonne Afrika.<br />
They will highlight the Partner-Lodge as especially worthy of support.<br />
This unique selling proposition (USP) promotes attention to the traveller´s decision for booking. Result for the<br />
Partner-lodges - more economic and financial capability for further good investments as well as an adoption<br />
of a Children center mentoring.<br />

Next Steps & Summary<br />
<strong>SAVE</strong> Botswana: the next steps<br />
• Step 1: <strong>SAVE</strong>WCB will select key areas to establish Youth Centers to allow the maximum number of children to<br />
attend its programs. These sites have already been identified and are located in the; Ghanzi, Gudigwa, Khuke,<br />
Kumanga, Kwaii, Matimo, Motopi, and Rakops districts.<br />
• Step 2: To generate interest and aid for the program we will meet with key members of the community such<br />
as, the Kgosi (Village Chief), youth groups, school clubs, local volunteers and other organizations. By doing so,<br />
we gain support of the entire village and create partnerships with locals who are interested in the project’s<br />
success.<br />
• Step 3: Working with local youth groups and school clubs we will host informative talks and provide materials<br />
regarding nature and wildlife conservation. This will give kids a chance to learn about the environment from<br />
researchers, conservationists, safari operators and other field experts.<br />
• Step 4: The next step will be to establish youth centers in each district by finding sufficient space or pulling<br />
together the necessary funding to build them from the ground up. This will require site development and<br />
working with our local partners and organizations to determine where the best locations are. Each center will<br />
serve as a safe area where all children can visit at any time and will never be denied assistance.<br />

Summary<br />
• <strong>SAVE</strong> Wildlife Conservation Fund is a nonprofit foundation that specifically promotes the global and sustainable nature<br />
conservation and biodiversity.<br />
• Situation: Botswana´s highest value is the nature. And the fascinating wildlife is the main reason for travelling to Botswana. But<br />
many of the species are endangered and are in need of protection as well as the people of Botswana, because of HIV, hunger<br />
and poverty and missing perspectives. But even they are the future of Botswana. Help for the people and to be successful to<br />
involve them for nature and wildlife conservation will give Botswana a better future.<br />
• Tourism, wildlife conservation and the quality of living for Botswana´s people are closely related . This connection is the<br />
