“The best way to engage a community is to help them see climate change through their own experiences—how their environment has changed over the years and how it impacts their lives.” ~ Dumisa Khoza.
In this interview on HFM Stream, Dumisa Khosa and Lethabo Rasakanya from the Kruger to Canyons (K2C) Biosphere NPC share their passion for conservation, sustainability, and community engagement.
Dumisa discusses his role in the Pro-Nature Livelihood Team, which promotes climate resilience through sustainable agriculture and rangeland management. He highlights the use of conservation agreements and financial mechanisms to encourage eco-friendly farming practices.
“Waste reclaiming is more than just picking up trash – it’s about transforming what people discard into a livelihood and a resource for a sustainable future.” ~Lethabo Rasakanya.
Lethabo focuses on waste management and the formalization of waste reclaiming businesses at the municipal landfill site. She explains how K2C empowers reclaimers by providing better market access, infrastructure, and capacity-building initiatives. The discussion underscores the importance of community-driven solutions, collaboration, and long-term sustainability in environmental conservation.
