[HOT] Work begins on Mapping Africa's Protected Areas

[John White]

Hi All
The mapping of Serengeti National Park (Task 834
<http://tasks.hotosm.org/project/834>
) is progressing well with most of the roads and rivers now taking shape.
It is a large area though so any additional assistance would be much
appreciated.

For more information on the list of reserves to be mapped, please visit:
