Share-Net is a South African-based informal networking project that supports environmental education and development in the SADC region.

Share-Net is co-ordinated from the Wildlife and Environment Society of South Africa (WESSA) in the Umgeni Valley Nature Reserve, KwaZulu-Natal. The office operates alongside the SADC Regional EE Centre to provide stronger support to environmental education initiatives in the southern African region.

Printing of resources occurs mainly at the Share-Net office, but an increasing number of resources are produced in other regions.

The project strives to be responsive and participatory, performing the following functions:

• Develop and review learning support materials for environmental education
• Support school teachers and curriculum developers
• Support professional development courses in SADC countries
• Provide low-cost printing & publishing facilities to members of the community
• Provide a low-cost mail-order support service
• Maintain a network of people, places and publications in environmental education
• Support environmental education centres
  
  
  Share-Net materials are copyright-free for educational purposes and redevelopment for local use is encouraged. The learning support materials can be used to complement one another and provide a rich, integrated learning experience.
