Through storytelling, reflection and learning, the conference will cover issues relating to human-wildlife conflict, community development and beneficiation, community safety, illegal wildlife trade/poaching, corruption, environmental education, and more.

The conference is supported and facilitated by Indalo Inclusive, an NPO with vast experience in virtual conferencing, working in the Greater Kruger landscape and the conservation-related and socio-economic issues that occur within the landscape and community conservation.

khetha programme

The Khetha Programme is a five year co-operative agreement between the World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF) South Africa and the United States Agency for International Development (USAID). The overall goal of the programme is to halt wildlife trafficking impacts on flagship species in key populations of the Great Limpopo Transfrontier Conservation Area (GLTFCA) landscape in South Africa and Mozambique. More specifically by 2022, the programme aims to contribute to an increase in growth rates of black and white rhino and maintain positive growth rates for elephants in the focal area. 

The Khetha programme recognises that addressing wildlife trafficking involves understanding and engaging in complex social and ecological systems. Understanding these and providing the right advice to institutional partners is a major output of the programme. 

The Khetha programme therefore seeks to:

  • Support innovative partnerships and novel approaches within civil society, communities, private sector and government in at least four innovation nodes in GLTFCA to improve relationships between people and wildlife, by July 2022.
  • Support the implementation of critical wildlife trafficking policy frameworks for South Africa and Mozambique to increase crime prevention, detection, prosecution and collaboration, by July 2022.
  • Learn, collaborate and coordinate with influential institutions in the GLTFCA landscape to strengthen the collective response to wildlife trafficking, by July 2022.
