Eco Restoration for Ecosystem Health
World Environment Day is a global platform for raising awareness and taking action on pressing environmental issues. This year’s theme, “Eco Restoration for Ecosystem Health,” resonates deeply with EcoTraining’s core conservation and ecological stewardship values. As custodians of our planet’s natural heritage, EcoTraining recognises the urgent need to restore and protect our ecosystems for the well-being of current and future generations.
World Environment Day allows us to unite with people worldwide in our shared commitment to protecting the planet. Together, we can make a difference. We believe that education is the key to fostering a deeper connection with nature and inspiring positive change, – Managing Director Anton Lategan

What to expect: Ecotourism Field Guide Course
EcoTraining presents a Higher Certificate: Ecotourism Field Guide Course (NQF Level 5).
We join EcoTraining Instructors Richard Davis and David Havemann, who explain the course and what to expect. The Higher Certificate: Ecotourism Field Guide Course is the highest qualification in nature guiding (NQF level 5), and EcoTraining is the only organization to offer this course in Africa. We look at guiding ethics and safety, astronomy, geology, ecotourism, and all the aspects that make the hospitality and tourism industry what it is today or what it should be from a guiding point of view when we are out here in the wilderness.
It is for people who want to see and understand nature at a high level as we go into much detail. EcoTraining’s course on nature guiding is an excellent way to understand guiding principles, theory, and practice. Please sit back, relax, and let us show you what it is all about.
