All profits from visiting students and researchers are split between the Wildlife Tourism College and the Pardamat Conservation Area landowners.
Therefore, by increasing visitors, the College is able to improve its service delivery to students, and more members of the surrounding community can afford to remove fences from their land, opening up vital corridors for wildlife.
