Back in 1950 there were just 25000000 International Tourists compared to 1460000000 in 2019. Yet around the world there are more grand projects in the making designed to pull in ever more tourists not always to the delight of local people.

It investors there will be new settlements next to engine mind cities and a Rail Connection for nearly 3000000. 00 tourists a year. The goal is to support a region that has been forgotten for the last 5 decades. At the same time its a region with resources that can benefit the rest of the country.

But in the name trend maya is a disgrace. We the maya people are the ones who bear this proud name but nobody has spoken to us. This is not true we are in contact with all groups and there will be further consultations because of the pandemic contact might have been reduced a little but again if anyone benefits from the train its the Indigenous People. When yes. But once again many Indigenous People feel their concerns have not been taken into account the last stop on our journey is the good or turquoise paradise which is also under threat.

Africas majestic wildlife is often the target of poachers making the work of wildlife preserves especially important. Our reporter went to kenya where he met some of the people whose project has made it onto the International Union for conservation of natures green list. The Wildlife Conservancy in Central Kenya is a paradise for animals and animal lovers the 250 square kilometers are home to thousands of giraffes elephants lions rhinos and many other species. Used to be part of a cattle ranch owned by a british farmer in the 1980 s.

Are on a bus. But they were conservancy says that working closely with local communities is an effective strategy in the fight against poachers. Community is playing a Critical Role in terms of conservation with putting them in board youre not tweeting in terms of cost of vision. Or pushing its been a step by the communities and its been assisted even by a dentist that is what you have seen before and its just because of their money and thats why now were focusing in terms of putting a lot of programs outside the community so we can really win their community to get a lot of information and at least they can be i found e. S. L.

D. s to plant and i also bought 2 pigs so theres been lots of progress that i am moving forward. I have gained so much there are many benefits for example they bring in trainers who teach us about many issues that have to do with health and how we can help ourselves as women. 1800. 00 women have so far received microcredit there are also classes on business the environment and practical skills purity and lawrence of work for the conservancy is womens empowerment program. Previously women. So that they have come to. Meet. We link up with maybe specially expecting across expect to be less so but is from a benefit to the best in the lead to take in funding and producing for. The programmes have helped improve the standard of living in neighboring communities. Working closely with the local government the conservancy supports for clinics and runs one of its own local people receive free medical care including medicine and vaccines and medical services for pregnant women and new mothers. Setting up these clinics was to provide much needed primary Healthcare Services to communities that leaves are on the consultancy monthly. 800 people. Theres a dire shortage of medical care in kenyas rural areas so locals welcome the clinics. It would be a big problem if this clinic didnt exist many people would have died the nearest hospital is in the next town which is quite far its good that there is a clinic here. The efforts made by the labor Wildlife Conservancy not only to protect wild animals but also to support local communities have Found International recognition since 2014 its been included in the prestigious i. U. C. N. Green list of protected areas. The seal of approval is a huge boost to the project. It helps us in terms of our Marketing Strategies it helps helps us in terms of well fund raising i do to help what helps us so that there can be a model for others to emulate for others to come on line from us what we have been yeah its not for lower its for the king and his stage its for the global head it is for the community heritage.
