Guide to Trainers The trainer will pose the following set of questions at the beginning of the lesson; trainer limits the trainees to a practical example within Ngamiland: How do the Tawana Land Board operations impact the biodiversity in Ngamiland District and in the Okavango Delta specifically? Identify situations where improper land allocation has affected biodiversity in Ngamiland Give examples from Ngamiland where zoning or lack thereof has adversely affected biodiversity. Working in groups, the trainees assess the operations and decisions of Tawana Land Board and match these with possible impacts on the biodiversity.
