Join IUCN ESARO and Capitals Coalition for the second part of the webinar series on Valuing Natural Capital & Local Communities for Business in Eastern & Southern Africa. 

Taking place monthly, this series aims to build awareness of the relevance and potential of a capitals approach for decision-making by Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs) in Eastern & Southern Africa.

The second session is taking place on the 12th May 2021 at 11:00-12:30 EAT, discussing capital impacts and dependencies for local communities and the tourism sector and highlighting issues of natural and social capital dependencies, how these might be measured more widely across the industry, and how this knowledge can be shared to enable the fostering of more collaborative management approaches in future.

This session will provide an exchange between leading tourism operators in Eastern and Southern Africa and leaders from community conservancy associations that are heavily reliant on the tourism industry for their livelihoods.

Panellists: Maxi Louis (Director, Namibian Association of Community Based Natural Resource Management Support Organisations), Daniel Sopia (CEO, Maasai Mara Wildlife Conservancies Association), Derek de la Harpe (Wilderness Safaris Holdings Limited), and Svein Wilhelmsen (Founder, Basecamp Explorer)
