SCI/SCIF DELEGATION FACILITATE CONTACT BETWEEN SADC AND LATIN AMERICAN DELEGATIONS


This morning, SCI/SCIF created a bridge between the South African Development Community and the Latin American delegations attending the CITES convention. This is the first time that these delegations were able to meet in one room and exchange information on the different proposals being presented to the CITES Parties. Thanks to the efforts of George Pangeti and J.Thomas Saldias, the African and Latin American members of our delegation.


Honorable Catherine Namugala, Minister of Environment and Tourism, Mrs. Catherine Eva, Chief of Chiawa Community in the Zambezi Valley from Zambia, and Mr. Erasmus Tarimo, Director of Wildlife of Tanzania as well as the Ambassador of Tanzania were present among other delegates. The Latin American regional group meeting is comprised of 25 countries of this region; the SADC group is comprised of 15 African countries.
