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.
