Web-based geospatial technology provides the means to enhance the decision making of natural resource managers and the education of natural resource users. This paper discusses the development of a web-enabled application that allows the temporal and spatial representation of raster, vector, and tabular data for natural resource processes and uses through spatially dynamic time series animation...

the farmers of the future (fof) initiative implemented a programme of integrating natural resources management in the basic education curriculum. the purpose of the study was to document activities and determine the effects of fof programme on primary school learners’ perceptions towards natural resources management by comparing learners involved in the fof programme and those not involved. fur...
