 The C.A.P.E. Biodiversity Conservation Education Programme (CBCEP) is a key component of the C.A.P.E. programme, aiming to co-ordinate conservation education in the Cape Floristic Region and linked to projects at individual sites. An emphasis is placed on active participation and learning, by engaging communities and other stakeholders in local and regional environmental issues.
Up until June 2009, the programme was managed by Rhodes University's Environmental Education and Sustainability Unit. The programme has been responsible for working with C.A.P.E. partner organisations to build capacity and to improve biodiversity conservation education resources. The programme has worked with all C.A.P.E. and SANBI partners, including Share-Net as an open learning network. New materials to support partnerships can be downloaded below:
- A Resources Audit and Database provides an overview of available learning support materials and an access mechanism to find them.
- Handprint Materials provide Eco-schools with materials to work with the curriculum and in local community-conservation partnerships, supporting the development of actions for sustainability in local contexts.
- A Teacher Education Workbook provides a practical resource on teaching and learning methods for environment and sustainability education for teachers and teacher education institutions.
- A Curriculum Pack provides planning frameworks for including environment and sustainability concerns in the curriculum, as required by the National Curriculum Statements for Grades R-12. (This is only available on hard copy upon request)
- A CAPE Conservation Education Strategy Toolkit provides a workbook for conservation agencies and partners to develop internal strategies that support deliberative learning programmes on local priorities.
These materials are complemented by a range of other environmental education learning support materials available at Share-Net
