On the 31stof May 2018 LEDET with support from AWARD and K2C hosted a Biodiversity day celebration at Lekgalameetsi Nature Reserve. The theme for this year was Celebrating 25 years of Biodiversity Conservation in action.
The Reserve was packed with various stakeholders such as Mopani District Municipality, Maruleng Local Municipality and the Lekgalameetsi Land Owners Management Committee. The Hosts delivered different presentations as a form of raising awareness on issues that the communities face daily as the live adjacent to Nature Reserves.
The event was a great success because the targeted age group which was youth attended in numbers and they participated throughout the event as different speakers presented. The Aim was for the Youth to take back the knowledge to the community at large regarding Environmental issues.
The K2C BR got an opportunity to showcase the first screening of their “Our Sand” Documentary in front of an audience of a hundred people comprising of youth and government department officials. The response was very positive, sparking a conversation on the impacts, effects and role players of the issue of sand mining.
