We are happy to share that Cornelius Okello, one of our postdocs in the Integrative Biodiversity Conservation Science team, has co-authored an article in The Conversation alongside Timothy A. Downing and Yvonne Wambui Githiora. This piece explores the potential of Nature-based Solutions (NbS) in addressing critical challenges in Africa, including climate adaptation, biodiversity conservation, and sustainable development, while also reflecting on the complexities of implementation.

The article was reviewed by Professors Daniel Olago and Margaret Owuor, the latter being the lead professor of our Integrative Biodiversity Conservation Science team at WA. This work aligns with Cornelius’ research on leveraging NbS for water resource management and biodiversity conservation, reinforcing our commitment to innovative solutions for people and nature.
