Experts from African governments and civil society organisations discuss community-based conservation models at CBD COP17, focusing on how such approaches could help countries reach the global 30×30 target of conserving 30% of land and marine areas by 2030.
Both reports describe the conversation as centred on emerging conservation methods that involve communities, rather than only top-down management. The emphasis is on practical models that may support conservation commitments across Africa’s terrestrial and marine environments. While the outlets share the same core information, their framing differs slightly: one highlights the policy dialogue around new conservation models, while the other foregrounds the COP17 discussion and ties it directly to advancing Africa’s 30×30 goals.
