Women Conserving Southern Africa

Hi All

I am setting up a congress bringing together Women Conserving Southern Africa, which will be held in Kasane, Botswana, in February 2026.

The idea is for lots of women from different backgrounds and countries to come together to build networks and share knowledge and skills, ideally moving towards a larger platform to allow exchange of ideas and strong collaborations across borders. 

You can find out more information and apply to participate through the QR code in the below image or by clicking this link

We've had over 50 women sign up so far and 74% of them are interested in workshops around conservation technology, so this seems like a good platform to share the flyer! Please feel free to share this as widely as you can.

We are still looking for funding to support participants, especially some who would not usually have access to events such as this, so if you have any ideas on who might be interested in sponsoring, please reach out to me!

Cheers for now

Emily
