This Earth Day, the integration of biodiversity conservation and livelihood resilience is top of mind. Here we look at collaborative value chain governance models for sustainable use, conservation, and livelihood resilience. www0.sun.ac.za/awei/posts/col…

It's great to be with AWEI Fellows - Dr Thabang Teffo (Southern Africa Wildlife College) and Ms Catherine Semcer (Oxford WildCRU) - at the CIC General Assembly in Lisbon... connecting the dots between hunting, the wider #WildlifeEconomy , and socio-ecological landscapes.

Dr Thabang Teffo, AWEI Fellow and SAWC Responsible Resource Management Director, at the CIC General Assembly. 'Key issues are the right to land ownership and the power to manage their resources based on their local knowledge of responsible use.'

AWEI is in Portugal for the CIC General Assembly engaging in discussions on wildlife use in Africa, notably hunting tourism and wild meat. The proposed import bans of trophies from Africa is a hot topic. #WildlifeEconomy

Across the baobab value chain there is a strong commitment to environmental sustainability, social equity, and good business practice. For many baobab companies, they are confirming their commitment through FairWild certification.

Current annual global demand for baobab powder is 500 tonnes. Potential sustainable supply is 15,000 tonnes. Great potential for Africa’s #WildlifeEconomy .

It's great to be attending the Global Baobab Congress today in London organised by the African Baobab Alliance (africanbaobaballiance.org). The whole value chain for a wild harvested African product in one room!

How do you think we can build a future where the use of natural capital provides sustainable benefits to people? Read more here: www0.sun.ac.za/awei/posts/nat…
