A short story...Ethno-conservation is a nature conservation approach that leverages the knowledge and practices of Indigenous and local communities to protect biodiversity and natural resources. It involves incorporating traditional ecological knowledge (TEK) and co-management strategies to create more sustainable and equitable conservation efforts. As move around the country I meet different people and tribes but this one guy got me hooked up and dancing in no time.. Incorporating traditional knowledge and practices can enhance the effectiveness of conservation efforts by providing valuable insights into local ecosystems and resources.

Wetlands are a string of life...In the heart of southern Zimbabwe lies the awe-inspiring Matobo Hills, a UNESCO World
Heritage Site renowned for its dramatic granite outcrops, ancient rock art, and spiritual
significance. This unique cultural and natural landscape is not only a geological marvel but
also a sanctuary for biodiversity, deeply interwoven with the lives, traditions, and sustenance
of the surrounding communities. The Matobo Hills - a place of ancient wonders - carries
among other things the less celebrated but critically important wetlands that are precious
and often overlooked but playing a vital role in maintaining the area’s ecological balance and
supporting rural livelihoods.

This is why you need to know about the cuckoos – nature’s ultimate freeloaders! These birds have mastered the art of living carefree. While other birds are busy building nests and feeding chicks, the cuckoos are out there... having a blast! Cuckoos lay their eggs in other birds' nests, leaving the hard work to unsuspecting foster parents. Talk about outsourcing! Imagine finding the perfect babysitters while you enjoy a tropical vacation. That's the cuckoo lifestyle! This year, I was lucky enough to spot not one, but two types of these sly birds- the common cuckoo and the greater spotted cuckoo. They truly are the ruff riders of the bird world, cruising through life with no strings attached. So, next time you’re out bird watching, keep an eye out for these feathered freeloaders. They might just remind you to take it easy and enjoy the ride! eBird
