Description de la séance
Co-managed Fisheries Reserves are an innovative approach towards achieving 30x30 for freshwater ecosystem; it is a community-led, ecosystem-based approach in response to the decline in high-value fish species caused by commercial fishing and poorly governed open access fishery, exacerbated by climate change. Community Fisheries supports the socio-ecological resilience of local communities, is an effective and efficient avenue to successfully restore riverine ecosystems and value chains while creating cultural and livelihood outcomes for riverine communities. Drawing from our experiences in the Kavango Zambezi Transfrontier Conservation area, we will share consolidated lessons, challenges and successes. We will outline our strategies to outscale, upscale and deepscale and demonstrate how knowledge co-production, integrating both traditional and scientific knowledge, can inform decision-making; and highlight the efforts taken to register these reserves as OECMS and Protected Areas to contribute to 30x30 on freshwater.Organised by
