This resource was developed initially as a slide-tape package for use by the Environmental Education Resource Unit of the University of the Western Cape. It was converted to HTML format by D.W. Keats and Jocelyn Collins. The resource is divided into a number of frames, which are linked with one another, or which can be accessed individually from the links above. We hope you enjoy and learn from this resource.
