Securing biodiversity and ecosystem services in Africa: Notes from the 2015 Satoyama Initiative Regional Workshop in Accra, Ghana. Bothalia (Online) [online]. 2016, vol.46, n.1, pp.1-2.

The first Satoyama Initiative Regional Workshop in Africa was held in Accra, Ghana, from 10 to 12 August 2015. The objective of the workshop was to contribute to the sustainable development agenda in the region within the scope of biodiversity and ecosystem functioning by strengthening the knowledge base related to the Satoyama Initiative, a global effort 'to realize societies in harmony with nature' through the revitalisation and sustainable development of 'socio-ecological production landscapes and seascapes'. This short report summarises some of the main points arising from the workshop.
