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

[John White]

Hi All
I am please to announce that work has begun on Mapping Africa's Protected
Areas. The first two National Parks selected for mapping are Serengeti
National Park (Task 834 <http://tasks.hotosm.org/project/834>)
and Niokolo-Koba National Park (Task 721
<http://tasks.hotosm.org/project/721>).

As many of you are aware, Africa's National Parks, Nature Reserves and Game
Reserves are an important and sustainable sources of foreign currency, jobs
and upliftment in many countries on the African continent. Your assistance
in mapping protected areas will help support tourism activity and therefore
the surrounding communities.
