English late summer / autumn - I was too trusting of the weather forecast 🫣🥶🫣

So lovely to reconnect, exchange and share thoughts and ideas and meet your amazing research network. Looking forward to future collaborations ❣️

Thank you so much for the amazing and inspiring time in Sheffield. Really loved learning about the park system in the UK where the landed gentry, farmers and villagers live inside the Park. And property prices are sky high because of being located on the inside!

Amazing! Yes - we have a small evidence grant in the Northern and Western Cape regions to look into access and benefit sharing. It would be wonderful to compare notes!

This week at #SASE2025 I’m speaking about how inclusion and exclusion shape illegal wildlife markets. Succulents are just one example.

How do we build markets that centre justice, livelihoods, and ecological care?

Grassroots harvesters and farmers in Southern Africa – who’ve cared for and used these plants for generations – are often criminalised or excluded, while retailers here profit off biodiversity with little traceability or benefit-sharing.

It’s become a bit of a problem. Geotags and locations gleaned from science and social media has posts. Hopefully the conophytums that you saw are still there

Civilised world? Who’s that please?

Love the track so much! This mortal coil - Brings up memories. Thanks for sharing. Remember it also played in Requiem for a dream
