Biodiversity Information Management Consultation
A short report which summarises key capacity issues in this critical sub-sector, and decisions taken about addressing them, at the national Biodiversity Information Management Forum held in Cape Town in June 2009.
Biodiversity Information Management: Human Capital Development Issues and Challenges
The consultation was conducted as part of the annual conference of the national Biodiversity Information Management Forum. It followed on (and was informed by) earlier discussions on capacity and capacity development in the sub-sector, at the 2007 and 2008 forums. Dr Eureta Rosenberg ran the workshop as part of the stakeholder engagement she was contracted to undertake for SANBI and the Lewis Foundation, towards the development of a Human Capital Development Strategy for the Biodiversity Sector. She was assisted in the planning and facilitation of the workshop by Selwyn Willoughby and Heather Terrapin of SANBI and Dr Glenda Raven of the C.A.P.E. Capacity Building Programme. Rene du Toit of SANBI lent a hand, and several guest presenters made short inputs.
