Why conservation and development are mutually reinforcing in Key Landscapes?

Why attend
The EU-funded NaturAfrica is a people-centred biodiversity initiative, where conservation of high-biodiversity sites and development of local communities in Key Landscapes for Conservation and Development (KLCD) are mutually reinforcing. This session will illustrate the concept in Mali, Chad and Ghana by fiels organisations.
