Invitation to Scientific Seminar: "Poaching and Conservation of Elephants and Great Apes in Central Africa"

The Department of Animal Science and Food Processing at FTZ is delighted to invite you to a scientific seminar titled "Poaching and Conservation of Elephants and Great Apes in Central Africa - Insights from a Field Conservationist." This session will feature Arthur F. Sniegon, a distinguished conservationist with extensive experience in the heart of Central Africa.

Date: March 28, 2024

Time: 14:00 - 15:30

Location: FTZ Room 116

 

Central Africa is the frontline where the clash between expanding

human civilization and native nature represented by the largest

remaining populations of forest elephants, African great apes, and

many other taxa is occurring. The talk will discuss specific cases from

14 years of travel, volunteering and working in Congo, Cameroon and

Chad in conservation - from monitoring and documenting wildlife, to

repression in the fight against wildlife crime, to development projects

with local communities.

Online Café: Socioeconomics and Ecophysiology of Asystatia Gangetica

Did you know that wild indigenous vegetables have the potential to circumvent the present effects of climate change on food security? 

There is a little-known green leafy “weed,” Asystasia gangetica ssp. micrantha, whose potential as a food resource has not been fully assessed. Its integration into the modern food system needs science-based advocacy and sensitization. 

Join us on Thursday, March 28, 2024, at 4:00 PM EAT/2:00 PM CET for another inspiring Online Café!  Our esteemed guests, Dr. James Shergold Epila-OtaraDr. Epila Jackie, and Prof. Dr. Ir. Kathy Steppe, will lead us in the socioeconomics and modern ecophysiological assessments of this remarkable “weed” with transformative potential for our modern food cultures. 

Register here.

Ready to be inspired?  

Best regards,
The IPBO team
