Irene Mbuthye Mwendwa’s research in Watamu, Kenya tackles a central question in coastal conservation: whether mangrove restoration is truly improving artisanal fisheries and the livelihoods that rely on them. #cabes #cabes_iki #iki_bmuv #zef #unibonn #biodiversityconservation #africa
Antoinette’s fieldwork in #MokolodiNatureReserve focuses on how biodiversity & climate change interact & how this nexus can inform stronger conservation policies in Botswana. #cabes #cabes_iki #iki_bmuv #zef #unibonn# biodiversityconservation #africa

Fiyori Mebratu’s research shows that Ethiopia’s urban climate adaptation must treat biodiversity as a core requirement. Drawing on major IPBES assessments, she argues that rapidly growing cities like Addis Ababa need ecological knowledge embedded in planning. #cabes #cabes_iki #iki_bmuv #zef
Fleury’s session in Rusizi National Park brought together national leadership and indigenous community custodians to bridge the gap between global biodiversity platforms and local realities. #cabes #cabes_iki #iki_bmuv #biodiversityconservation #spibes #africa
0% community influence over restoration decisions. 86.7% of traditional knowledge holders ignored. Uganda’s wetland restoration is falling short. SPIBES student Andrew Remmy Muwaza explains why, and what must change. 👇 www.cabes.online/wp-content/u...
A new SPIBES student policy brief from Somaliland’s Geed Deeble Forest reveals the gap between ecological recovery and community reality, and makes the case for conservation that truly includes people. Full brief here 👇 www.cabes.online/wp-content/u... #biodiversity #africa #somaliland
Climate change and biodiversity loss are one crisis in Botswana, not two. SPIBES student Antoinette Emeldah Moleele’s brief on the biodiversity-climate nexus in Mokolodi Nature Reserve shows what integrated policy must look like. www.cabes.online/wp-content/u... #botswana #biodiversity #africa

Mangroves restored. Habitats improved. But fish catches still declining by 6.52 kg per trip. SPIBES student Irene Mbuthye Mwendwa’s brief on coastal restoration in Watamu, Kenya, shows why ecology and livelihoods must be tackled together. 👇 www.cabes.online/wp-content/u...
An invasive cactus. A 36.8% increase in species richness after restoration. And a community turning a threat into a resource. SPIBES student Nthiwa Christbell Ndunge’s policy brief on rangeland restoration in Kenya is a must-read. www.cabes.online/wp-content/u...
Over 1.11 million tonnes of carbon. 64 tree and shrub species. And a forest under threat. SPIBES student Tsion Fikadu Nigussie’s policy brief on Ethiopia’s Entoto Forest makes the case for urgent action. Read it 👇 www.cabes.online/wp-content/u... #biodiversity #ipbes #ethiopia #africa
