The project aims at the preservation of biodiversity in the Dinder National Park by encouraging species conservation and the sustainable use of resources through the integration of local communities in the utilization and management of the natural resources of the park. In addition the project aims at maintaining the park as a coherent eco-system which will act as a perpetual reservoir of gene pool and species diversity in an area where nature conservation is threatened by large scale development schemes, various sources of resource misuse, drought and land degradation.
