Very interesting talk

Thank you for an informative talk Khungeka,Jo, and Sarah.

This is fascinating - thanks to all for sharing their expertise.

My chat is now enabled: I believe the comment by the first presenter about the importance of getting community buy-ins is critical. Kicking people off their land in the name of conservation to save the rhino, etc. in my experience is a big mistake. I believe programs like what TUT grad Paulus Arnold is doing in the community conservancies of Northern Namibia - he manages is the way to go. Traditional hunting for certain species is allowed. In Cameroon and other Francophone countries, Chasse Libre programs allow traditional hunting for certain species to feed family/community, as with Paulus Arnold's program. In addition, traditional hunters guide trophy hunters. The key is that traditional hunters are made part of the solution instead of being seen as part of the problem and it is they who spend significant time in the bush - who keep both community members and outsiders from poaching critical species such as rhino.Agreed - often the political/bureaucratic/corporate elite take advantage of poverty to have

Agreed - often the political/bureaucratic/corporate elite take advantage of poverty to have them poach. The poor take all the risk and the elite make the real profits. In addition to integrating the communities into rhino/willife conservation, a key mut be going after these elites!!! Too bad South Africa's Endangered Species Protection Unit (ESPU) of the South African Police was disbanded. ESPU's in one form or another are needed across the Sub-Continent!!Also, private game ranchers and rhino in Southern Africa are important. CITES banning trade risk to take away the economic incentives of private game ranchers to conserve rhino!!

Thank you for the webinar. You've helped me articulate parts of my role well and consider new aspects of rhino conservation.

How do you see relationship between development/globalization and wildlife crime?

Thanks for the information, we are on the right track, we just need the political buy in and backed up by policy
