Fungal Conservation in Sub-Saharan Africa:
sustainability and livelihood implications
Exhibition of biological specimens as part of the National Week of Biodiversity. Unfortunately, fungi are missing in the collection of National Forest Office. But fortunately, MyTIPS is present to showcase fungi and to bring their voice at the table.
From May 2-4, 2024, FC-SSA project team member Wilfrid Adjimoti participated in the African Youth Conference on Natural Resources and Environmental Governance in Accra, Ghana. This event brought together young people passionate about natural resource governance and environmental protection, from countries such as Ivory Coast, Benin, Ethiopia, Uganda, Kenya, Zimbabwe, Nigeria, Senegal, Mali, Burkina Faso, Niger, South Africa and Sierra Leone. Mr. Adjimoti took this opportunity to promote the FC-SSA project to participants. A kakemono presenting the project was on display, allowing visitors to discover the objectives and achievements of this initiative aimed at preserving and restoring forests. Flyers were also distributed, providing detailed information about the project. The FC-SSA project thus continues to gain visibility and build potential partners across the continent.
