Supporting Sustainable Livelihoods ft. Dr Dilys Roe and Sam Shaba

In this episode of Beneath the Baobab, Gordon Buchanan takes a look at the human dimensions of conservation. Dr Dilys Roe @dilysroe and Sam Shaba share examples of models for supporting livelihoods and wildlife to thrive in shared spaces, from ecotourism and carbon credit schemes to incentivisation of the sustainable use of natural resources. Dilys is Chair of the Sustainable Use and Livelihoods ( SULi) specialist group at the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN). This global volunteer network aims to mobilise cross-sector expertise to support sustainable use models that also meet human needs and priorities. She’s also member of the UK government Darwin Expert Committee and Illegal Wildlife Trade Advisory Group, and a trustee of Resource Africa But the thing that most inspires Dilys in her work is visiting locations to connect with communities, people and practises and to find out how community-based conservation is working. She explains how she’s working with international expertise to bring these voices and experts to the forefront of conservation innovation and policy. Sam Shaba then talks to Gordon about his work at Tanzanian initiative Honeyguide , which works in landscapes where community conservation is key to wildlife conservation. He explains how their projects have developed and gained pace in Wildlife Management Areas like Randilen , where community partnerships are central to conservation.
