Candles and Conservation - Dana Nature Reserve, Jordan
A Project on the Edge of a Desert
ATG trips: Discovering Jordan
The Jordanian Royal Society for the Conservation of Nature and the ATG Trust have set up a project to provide an alternative income source for the Bedouin in the Dana Reserve to prevent over-grazing by goats. A craft workshop has been instituted to produce candles to light a low-impact, eco-friendly guest house for visitors. The candles are also being sold elsewhere and to illuminate Petra by night.
Project completed 2005
