It is with heavy hearts and deep sorrow that we note the passing of CLN Vice Chairperson Comrade Charles Jonga. Comrade Jonga was not just a pillar for CAMPFIRE in Zimbabwe but an inspiration to young conservation leaders across Southern Africa. https://t.co/DTVrrbeSrm

Should skylarks be hunted by falconers in the UK? We are not in a position to judge, because we are from African countries where skylarks do not occur. But it is interesting that hunting continues in England, while the UK moralises about hunting in Africa.

Dramatic scenery, endless horizons, great wildlife & birdlife, vast open spaces and serenity. Come and see why various members of @RoyalFamily, @LewisHamilton, @TheRealLukevans and many others have found Namibia 🇳🇦 to be so breathtaking.

Disappointing to see the UK pushing through a bill to ban trophy imports on a wave of misinformation. Without alternatives, closing TH in Africa will lead to significant wildlife population declines. Lions, lies and legislation https://t.co/Vejqf9htOq

@M_Kaapanda @LeadersSouthern Good to have vocal leaders such as you.. Affected communities must be consulted and their decisions (whatever it maybe) should be respected

[Dr Mekondjo Kaapanda-Girnus @M_Kaapanda]

2/2 Dialogue and mutual respect are critical. In the spirit of equal partnership in the fight to protect biodiversity, Namibia asks for sincere consultations before countries impose blanket bans on the importation of hunting trophies.

@de_lhra @MyaBambrick1 @MrRyanJDalton Maybe, just maybe, you should watch the documentary before making your assumptions?

[Mya Bambrick @MyaBambrick1]

Was brilliant to have @MrRyanJDalton host a premier of ‘Beyond the Trigger’ and for @MuundaVilio to join us for the Q&A.

A fascinating documentary watched by a room of students who were genuinely interested to find out more.

@Karim_cachi @jc_vignoli @ConservationNa1 @AHuebschle @BuzFeedNews @Survival Ouh you are referring to the article? Sorry, please contact WWF directly to answer your queries

[Vilio Muunda @MuundaVilio]

@Karim_cachi @jc_vignoli @ConservationNa1 @AHuebschle I answer when there is need to, and certainly not to nonsensical opinions disguised as facts

[Vilio Muunda @MuundaVilio]

@jc_vignoli @ConservationNa1 @AHuebschle I think you have an agenda against WWF, please sort that out with them directly.

@IngridMandt @M_Kaapanda @AmyDickman4 I hope your report also clarify the NW is recovering from a 10 year drought.. You only visited NW?

[Into The Wild Podcast @IntoTheWildPod]

A superb evening at @bournemouthuni on Tuesday to screen #BeyondTheTrigger (& watch the sunset on the beach of course).

Wonderful discussion after the viewing & a pleasure to have @MuundaVilio from @LeadersSouthern join us for the Q&A (despite some tech issues!).

[Vilio Muunda @MuundaVilio]

@AHuebschle Funny how since the proposals to ban trophy imports, poaching has increased

[Vilio Muunda @MuundaVilio]

@jc_vignoli @AHuebschle Most of these cases are from a National Park, where no hunting takes place... Compare the figures with communal areas and see the difference... @ConservationNa1 can provide

[Community Leaders Network of Southern Africa @LeadersSouthern]

This video with African animals photoshopped into UK scenes reveals just how little UK people understand what it is like to live with lions, elephants, hippos, leopards, etc. It is not easy.

@BornFreeFDN All those years and still can't tell a male lion from a "lioness"... Shame
