Pay Green Group. This conservancy aims to conserve the estuary through education of river users and monitoring development in the area. Regular meetings and activities are arranged. Before embarking on a new venture, find out what urban projects are active in your area. Taking action might require development of a new organisation or structure, but it is often better to work through an existing body such as a civic association, municipality, or any of the organisations listed below.
Local support is the essence of any urban conservation programme.
Education will play a vital role in developing people's awareness of the relevance and potential benefits of urban conservation. Encouraging involvement through education could include a media campaign, providing information on environmental issues, and regular meetings and workshops. To publicise an environmental issue, or a project needing public involvement, consider writing a letter for publication. Many newspapers, radio and TV stations have an environmental reporter who might be enthusiastic about giving your project coverage. Be sure to let this person know when you are planning an activity that they should cover.
