These three Biodiversity Information Packs are produced by The Zambezi Society
for the
African Wildlife Foundation's Four Corners Transboundary Natural Resource
Management Initiative. They provide "interpeted" biodiversity information
designed in a user-friendly, colour illustrated format for key development
planning, educational, land
management and other stakeholders in the Four Corners area who do not necessarily
wish to have detailed technical or academic information. They are aimed at
creating awareness about the importance of biodiversity issues, encouraging
stakeholders to use scientifically-sound biodiversity information in their
work, and providing a framework within which conservation actions can better
be targeted for maximum effectiveness on the ground.

particular conservation significance in southern Africa because they are examples
of a vegetation type which is rare and threatened wherever it still occurs.
