ALERT Communities Trust (ACT) Projects Urban agriculture: As habitats are over-utilised the natural processes that offer vital resources are compromised. By protecting environments, even small eco-systems, whilst developing sustainable use programs, we can ensure those resources can meet the demands of future communities. The broad strategic goal of the project is to assist orphans, other vulnerable children, people living with HIV, the elderly and destitute to showcase best practices and restore the integrity of earth’s ecological system, with special concern for biological diversity and the natural processes that sustain life, to affirm gender equality and equity as a prerequisite to responsible development and ensure access to health and economic opportunity. Conservation education: There has been perpetual hostility and conflict between park managers and communities where the latter view wildlife as a threat to their existence and not as a heritage resource to be managed. There is a need to coexist with wildlife and make every effort to conserve it for future generations. This can in part achieved through education on the benefits that wildlife has on maintain eco-systems and therefore ensuring the resources on which communities rely on. Health based programs: • HIV education; Education based programs • Community school reading clubs; Social • Care groups support Empowerment • Employment;
