Taking part in this conference with an exhibition was a great opportunity to show the Climate Observatories’ processes of engaging local communities as active members in conservation and biodiversity management efforts. We got to talk with many interesting researchers, to share ideas and to reflect on what such processes could to in safeguarding biodiversity. We also took part with a presentation, given by project member: Meshack N. Dludlu. We were one of the only once talking about flora. Most presentations were about snakes and birds! Exciting (and scary!).
