Resource Conservation and Alternative Energy Sources Education
NMW aims to create a clear link between conservation issues and personal/communal advancement through:

1) The maintaining of traditional ecosystems through the preservation of forests, including educating people about renewable energy sources such as solar energy, and helping them develop and implement alternative energy sources.
2) Reaching out to project partners in an effort to allow indigenous peoples to reap benefits from conservation issues. Goals include the fostering of greater community involvement in the management of local national parks and game reserves, and the associated eco-tourism industries.
