Our WESSA Wild Walk hikers have been experiencing Spring tides and observing mass rocky shore harvesting (primary of mussels) by the local community. At Hluhleka village homestead, hikers interviewed woman-headed households on their natural resource use - forest and marine. It would appear that entrenched behavior is not rapidly changing following our eco-stove project piloted in 2013, and communities are still using more traditional methods. Alternative technologies require action change and a break from the customary which takes time to happen. The forest communities, however, have adopted the eco-stove more enthusiastically than the coastal communities and crafter households in particular are using wood chip by-products as excellent Eco-stove fuel!
