#GodfreyHarris believed that as long as there is no promotion of free speech to hold wildlife managers accountable, the threat of #wildlife mismanagement remains. Let us help build the Harris #Africa Institute for Environmental Communication in his honour. backabuddy.co.za/donation/af…
Summer has come too early in my #Johannesburg neighbourhood. Very heavy #rains in September for past two weeks have confused both humans and #nature. Now a big pool has formed in an open space and birds are confusing with a lake.
Without free speech that holds wildlife managers accountable, wildlife conservation remains threatened. Wildlife cannot be successfully managed in secrecy anywhere in the world.
South Africa 🇿🇦 has excellent transport services, especially its richest province #Gauteng.
Hopefully @SADC countries will discuss opportunities to grow their wildlife economy, through legal & sustainable trade in their huge multi-billion-dollar quantities of stockpiled @rhino horn & ivory. Why should SADC suffer from poverty & unemployment when trade can end both ills?
Why are @SADC countries not pushing for legal trade in their multimillion dollar ivory &rhino horn stockpiles to grow their wildlife economies? Experts have long told their ministers of Environment that legal trade in ivory & rhino horn is doable despite @CITES trade ban.
#EndangeredSpeciesAct The Trump administration is making welcome pro-sustainable use amendments to the USA
Endangered Species Act. This move is supported by the U.S. Government Secretary of Interior (Minister of Environment), #DougBurgun.
Why are Southern African hunting communities’ voices disappearing from media platforms, including social media?
They appear speechless and being spoken about in videos as beneficiaries of conservation hunting as if they can’t speak for themselves. That’s unfortunate.
#Switzerland and #SouthAfrica have done a great job 👏 to call for long-awaited @CITES wildlife management reforms that are responsive to markets, socioeconomic needs and #conservation outcomes. Watch this space for further details.

FIFA World Cup 2026: @Cape Verde has displayed a stellar performance against @Spain in the first half of their debut @FIFA World Cup Soccer. Impressive.
The second is now a wait and see scenario.

The neocolonial underbelly of @CITES that I have exposed in my two published books is further exposed by the researchers who published the report below. @Journalists should expose it in defence of Southern @African countries’ sustainable trade needs.

Animal rights NGOs want elephants moved out of Johannesburg zoo, in a high court where the voices of the poor @township people whose only opportunity to enjoy their wildlife national heritage, paying affordable price is by visiting @JohannesburgZoo.
In the late 1990s, media academic debate was interestingly focused on the replacement of @newspapers with online publications. Evidently, online publications are growing as newspapers continue to shutdown, worldwide. In future, TV stations could be replaced by YouTube channels.
