This project seeks to pilot test a community based online independent reporting platform with a Mobile App-Link as a means of connecting 21 buffer communities within the Reserve to an online portal (involving 21 community tours, a dedicated website, youtube channel and twitter page) to learn, monitor, share, report and co-develop localized resilience actions into national policy framework of Integrated Biodiversity Conservation.

​
