The MPCH participants got chances to contact with local residents to learn more about their attitude towards conservation and development. Afterwards, the participants summed up their feelings and questions derived from the visit , and shared our resource people in a relaxed and pleasant atmosphere at the end of the day.

Case study is an important part of MPCH, in order for the participants to feedback what they had learned and practice in a real context. The experience and knowledge from our MPCH participants in a variety of backgrounds help each other to complete basic theories and assist the local authorities to review their work in different angles.
