During the period, 2015-2018 Africa Biodiversity Collaborative Group (ABCG) members have been working with communities in various parts of sub-Saharan Africa to find ways in which people and nature can co-exist in harmony. In this period, ABCG members have managed to successfully implement strategies and approaches that advance biodiversity conservation and promote communities’ livelihoods.
