Abstract
In Afghanistan, there is a distinct lack of institutional and scientific technical capacity which threatens to affect the ability of the country to manage its own natural resources in the future. To tackle this in the long-term, WCS has been very active over the past four years in training personnel from government, rural communities, educational institutions and NGOs, both through formal training sessions and public outreach campaigns. The overall focus is on increasing the knowledge and skill levels of those responsible for natural resource management in areas including wildlife health, wildlife surveys techniques, rural and central governance, ecotourism and rangeland conservation. This training report describes all of the training activities to-date and the impact they have had on wildlife conservation in Afghanistan.
