The younger generation including school going children and youth make an important demographic proportion in the society and whose potentials can be harnessed for substantial contribution in the conservation of the kaya world heritage sites. The perpetual existence of the sacred kaya forests though largely threatened by encroachment and overexploitation of resources depends on a greater extent to the young generation particularly the children in schools. Most of the kaya forests destruction is by the youth and women. The size of the forests is progressively decreasing and most plant species disappearing hence affecting the animal diversity that highly depends on these ecosystems. This coupled by the fact that these important forests have for a very long time been left in the custody of the elders. While the old age could have been the best match for such an important resource largely linked with cultural importance, there has not been any deliberate efforts to recruit more elders and or youthful custodians. The younger generation and women have a low understanding and interest of the kaya forests and the value of these precious heritages. There has not been enough awareness creation to children in schools, youth and women with regards to the importance of these resources. Previous efforts in work with school children has been at a lower scale, one off activity and involved only talks and visits to kaya with no linkage to tree growing in their schools and homes by the students. As such a knowledge gap is evident between the older generation and the younger generations with misconceptions, suspicion and mistrust on any older persons associated with the Kaya forests. The cultural beliefs and folklores that sustain the forests resources are no longer revered and senseless destruction characterizes the Kaya forests. It is common for older people to be accused of witchcraft and herbalists shunned from society. The knowledge gap continues to widen as the older generation who are custodian of indigenous knowledge become fewer and the younger generation least interested in the knowledge. As a matter of fact, there seems to be a total disconnect between the elders and the society with regards to knowledge transfer. The future of the kaya forests relies on a highly sensitized youthful citizenry and this is achievable through a sustained educational and awareness campaign to the lower class students in primary schools within a 5 km radius of the Kaya Jibana forests. This will heighten the understanding of the values of the forests in order to guarantee sustainability of conservation interventions of the kaya forests.
