The story of the communities of the Tsitsikamma

Born on the Rocks

The story of the coastal communities of the Tsitsikamma and their relationship with the National Park and Marine Protected Area. Gradually, throughout the years they lose access to the natural resources around them which has dire consequences for their livelihoods. Check out this CCRN funded video produced by CCRN student Ella-Kari Muhl.

Listen to the accounts of local community members as they describe and express the struggles and challenges related to the implementation of the marine protected area, and how the current challenges are endangering the future of the community. The video highlights the values and needs of the local residents, and, through those values, demonstrates indicators and practices that would lead to success.
