The Kruger to Canyons project aims to improve the accessibility of the latest scientific information to key stakeholders in the area in order to help improve the chances of adaptation to future changes in climate. It is hoped that the outputs of this project will include diverse stakeholder planning and decision-making for the Kruger to Canyons area, which is more directly informed by climate change predictions, and improved resilience of such sectors under climate change.
