The level of involvement in environmental conservation activities corresponded to WCK activities demonstrating a likelihood that the involvement of respondents in WCK activities would contribute to the level of awareness towards wildlife conservation. Also, the study found that WCK activities had insignificant influence on promoting positive attitude towards wildlife conservation.
