CLN: fostering transformative change and adaptive management in southern Africa
Community Leaders Network is a collaborative grouping of rural representatives from Angola, Botswana, Malawi, Mozambique, Namibia, South Africa, Tanzania, Zambia and Zimbabwe.
Up early for the short drive to Ehi-Rovipuka conservancy office to meet with the committee to discuss issues & solutions around human/wildlife conflict. Then, on to meet community members to hear from them about the drought & ways they are having to adapt.
The last couple of days spent in ≠Gaingu conservancy waking up outside Spitzkoppe, then travelling to subsistence farmers & conservancy staff. Many clear messages, needs & emotions shared by some of the community here but we all ended with laughs & thanks.
