Webinar: Conservation in the Age of Covid: Adapting to the Loss of Tourism
Channel: Earth Journalism Network
Date: 2020-11-26

Conservation areas and the communities living in them are being forced to adjust to the dramatic decline in tourism during the pandemic, leading to loss of work, reduced incomes and a return to damaging activities, such as poaching.

How are these communities responding? Join EJN for our next biodiversity webinar and hear from practitioners in Asia, Africa and Latin America, as well as the Senior Conservation Director of Fauna and Flora International, as they discuss solutions to address the crisis facing conservation.

Speakers:
Joanna Elliott – Senior Conservation Director, Fauna & Flora International
Amanda Acosta – Executive Director, Belize Audubon Society
Justine Vaz – General Manager, The Habitat Foundation, Malaysia
Neila Manjate – Gorongosa National Park, Mozambique

This webinar will be in English.
