@KennedyWandera_@KennedyWandera_ please correct. The people have voted him present and the Union for Change or call it the Union of the people have publicized. He will address the people soon and other opposition candidates are pouring in their words of congratulations to him.

@MahamoudAliYo Just a simple sentence, "Africa's future belong to those who rule with integrity" would have said it all in a less divisive way. Words are complex and perhaps future communications maybe improved
@DefraChiefScien @IPBES Unfortunately, @IPBES is still to learn that their socalled government representatives act as gate keepers that will rarely be fair in nominating young fellows especially in highly corrupt states in Sub Sahara Africa. Those who deserve will rarely have the chance to compete.#Pity
@ipsnews@OliverChinganya Same can be said for ecosystems management and conservation, as local communities value of ecosystem services are largely ignored in policy/decision making.
New Publication!!!
Community-based valuation of ecosystem services beyond dominant economic methods.
Thanks to all the wonderful co-author!

Please note: This study refuses to treat/analyse wetland values in conventional monetary terms including in terms of willingness to pay and/or willingness to accept payment
Building on A Year of African Perspectives: The New/Future Africa
At the very close of 2024, it was absolutely rekindling and inspiring for me to have participated in the https://t.co/RE9fcByEJE (https://t.co/Ndie9Vbe2R) workshop. Read more👇https://t.co/FJXtPTiczc
@unepwcmc An interesting achievement but, community-based non-monetary valuation that focuses on mainstreaming local people's interest could allow for a better understanding of the diversity of values. This is the very basic approach that can help achieve inclusive conservation/management
@PippaN15 Great and this is honestly vissible in the paper's paywal, and the background of the leaders as capitalism continue to undermind environmental integraty and equity.
@RamsarConv The largest and most fascinating network of world's protected areas. Yet, a novel paradigm of management is needed now more than ever as their current status is ironical. Looking forward to such engagement!
Nice initiative @UNESCO but I am afraid you missed some pertinent perspectives as Geopark(s) will not be created in air conditioned spaces!
Honest and open #CommunityEngagement is key!
The United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organisation, UNESCO, has mobilised nature conservation experts, academics, as well as protected area managers to brainstorm on the possibility of creating the country’s first Geopark.
