The 2006 theme for this focused week is “Know Your National Parks” and the main objectives of the week are to create awareness; instill a sense of pride in South Africa’s natural, cultural and historical heritage; educate the public on the importance of nature and biodiversity and give the public a broader understanding of the custodianship role played by SANParks in conservation issues.

Essentially, the week kicks off with a series of activities which will be held in various parks throughout the country. You can access the programme here and visit the gallery here. The public will have free access to all national parks on working days through a programme that will be initiated by the People and Conservation division that will be targeting community and school groups.
