Educational Resources:
The key element in the
success of the park’s conservation work is the co-operation of the
stake-holders. It is imperative that the local community adopt the
philosophy of protecting the park and its natural resources as legislation
and policing can only achieve a small part in protecting the fragile
ecosystems the park holds in custody for future generations.
The first step in gaining
the support of the local community is extensive public awareness and
educational programs aimed at the local civil community, business community,
government authorities including the police and the courts, as well as
Jordanians from all over Jordan and foreign tourists from around the world.
This is all done through:
1.
Holding workshops
for all stake-holders.
2.
Presenting
the park and the need to conserve it during symposiums and conferences.
3.
Participation in local and international exhibits.
4.
Hands-on activities such
as beach clean-ups mobilizing students, dive centers, businesses, government
agencies and others
5.
The
promotion and supporting of environmental NGOs and helping them widen the
scope of their activities and increasing their role in the park’s
activities.
