BirdLife Africa Newsletter - December 2021
We welcome the last issue of the BirdLife Africa Newsletter in 2021 featuring triumphs, trials, and promise from the world of conversation, from our 25 partners across Africa.
As we begin to reset our interaction with nature, the question is how to build back better post COVID-19. The COVID-19 pandemic has underlined the importance of nature in ensuring our wellbeing. We need a Green Recovery pathway that ensures the protection and restoration of biodiversity and ecosystems, to build back from the impacts of the pandemic. Following up on the just concluded November COP26 talks in Glasgow, it is critical to redouble efforts towards protection of nature. As you will see in this new number of our newsletter, the BirdLife Partnership in Africa is doing its part.
