To address these issues, a landscape-level approach that considers ecological, social, and economic factors is essential. This approach involves the integration of various management strategies, such as habitat restoration, community engagement, and adaptive management, to promote the conservation of wildlife and their habitats while also supporting local livelihoods.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>During the SAWMA Namibia 2024 conference, we will showcase studies from different regions in southern Africa, highlighting successful landscape-level approaches to wildlife management and conservation. We urge the participants to discuss the challenges, opportunities, and lessons learned from these approaches and explore ways to scale up these efforts to achieve greater impact. Four sub-themes will enable presenters to share their experiences on topics such as community-based natural resource management, connectivity, green economy, and conservation health. Our goal is to facilitate interdisciplinary dialogue and collaboration among researchers, practitioners, and policymakers to guide improved wildlife management and promote sustainable development in southern Africa.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-9830872 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"9830872\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div><b>\u00a0SUB-THEMES:<\/b><\/div><div><b>\u00a0<\/b>Abstracts can be submitted using the following sub-themes as guidelines:<\/div><p style=\"font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: bold;\"><em>A more detailed description for each sub-theme can be found at the following link:\u00a0 <\/em><\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/sawma.co.za\/conference\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/SAWMA-Namibia-2024-Conference-themes.docx\">SAWMA Namibia 2024 Conference themes<\/a><\/p><p style=\"font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: bold;\"><em>\u00a0<\/em><\/span><\/p><ul><li><strong>Community-Based Natural Resource Management<br \/><\/strong><em style=\"font-size: 16px;\">Fostering community-led conservation and resource management in southern African landscapes: successes, challenges, and opportunities<\/em><\/li><\/ul><ul><li><strong>A Greener Economy for Wildlife Conservation: Public\/Private Partnerships<br \/><\/strong><em style=\"font-size: 16px;\">Unlocking the potential of public-private partnerships for sustainable wildlife management and a green economy in southern African landscapes<\/em><\/li><\/ul><ul><li><strong>Connectivity Across Diverse Ecosystems<br \/><\/strong><em style=\"font-size: 16px;\">Landscape-level ecology and transboundary management for wildlife conservation in southern Africa<\/em><\/li><\/ul><ul><li><strong>Conservation Health<br \/><\/strong><em style=\"font-size: 16px;\">Promoting wildlife health and welfare through physiological understanding and veterinary interventions in the southern African landscape<\/em><\/li><\/ul>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5437e95 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"5437e95\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<table width=\"710\"><tbody><tr><td width=\"198\">\u00a0<\/td><td width=\"512\"><p><strong>\u00a0IMPORTANT DATES:<\/strong><\/p><\/td><\/tr><tr><td width=\"198\"><p>Submission Portal for Abstracts Opens<\/p><\/td><td width=\"512\"><p>Friday, 1 March 2024<\/p><\/td><\/tr><tr><td width=\"198\"><p>Early Bird Registration Opens<\/p><\/td><td width=\"512\"><p>Monday, 8 April 2024 (valid until 23H59 on Saturday, 30 June 2024)<\/p><\/td><\/tr><tr><td width=\"198\"><p>Booking of accommodation<\/p><\/td><td width=\"512\"><p>Arebbusch Travel Lodge is open for booking your accommodation.

scientists, and zoologists), policymakers and students, conducting basic and applied research in several aspects of conservation and wildlife management. This research aligns directly with several national and international imperatives, including biodiversity conservation, ecosystem resilience and human dimensions of wildlife.<\/span><\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p>As an association, SAWMA recognises the need to invest in our collective conservation future. To this end, SAWMA offers free membership to all registered students. Students, as our future scientists and decision-makers, are also charged significantly lower registration rates for our annual conferences to allow as many as possible to benefit from attending the events. We can proudly say that our annual conferences provide an ideal opportunity for students to further their knowledge, gain confidence in scientific presentation and network with other students, managers and academics. It also opens possibilities and opportunities for future employment and research projects. However, like all investments, our emphasis on student opportunities and involvement comes at a cost to the association and this is where we would like to request your assistance.<\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p>The expected attendance is about 150 delegates on site and about 250 delegates attending the event virtually.<\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p>As a sponsor, you will be recognised on the conference website (logo and sponsorship level), and on other media platforms used to promote the conference. There will also be a logo wall at the conference for all sponsors.<\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p>It is our firm belief that your support represents an investment in the future of conservation and wildlife management in Africa and we would be honoured if you would accept our invitation to be an integral part of the Southern African Wildlife Management Conference.<\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p>If you are interested in supporting the conference in the form of any of the above sponsorship opportunities, we invite you to contact:<\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p>Elma Marais (Southern African Wildlife Management
