2024 年 11 月，PANORAMA 团队与世界自然保护联盟（IUCN）的拯救我们的物种（SOS）计划以及来自非洲 38 个组织的受资助者共同参加了"SOS 非洲野生动物计划"：回顾过去，展望未来 " 研讨会。这项具有里程碑意义的活动于2024年11月在内罗毕举行，世界自然保护联盟（IUCN）的工作人员与保护工作者共同评估了SOS非洲野生动物行动（AWI）所取得的成就、面临的挑战以及未来的机遇。这标志着世界自然保护联盟在加强知识管理和交流方面迈出了关键一步，这也是其再赠款项目的一部分。
A key feature of the workshop was hands-on “write-shop” introducing participants to PANORAMA “Solutions for a Healthy Planet” methodology. The workshop focused on documenting lessons learned from implementing SOS AWI grants while fostering peer-to-peer learning and exchanging best practices in African wildlife conservation. Building on a prior virtual orientation, participants deepened their understanding of PANORAMA’s benefits, methodology, solution case study template, and submission workflow.
Participants were directed through hands-on recording of “Snapshot Solutions,” which were grounded in PANORAMA’s proven approach. Group peer-review exercises further enriched the documenting of solutions and learning experience, ensuring robust and practical outcomes for the solutions being captured.
The workshop also included a field visit aimed at gaining a deeper understanding of community-based conservation solutions. The PANORAMA team visited the Maasai Mara region in Kenya’s South Rift Valley. Hosted by the South Rift Association of Land Owners (SORALO), a community-based organization uniting 16 Maasai communities, the visit provided a first-hand look at community-led biodiversity conservation.
Participants engaged with local leaders and SORALO rangers, gaining insights into innovative approaches to human-wildlife coexistence and landscape management. The visit also included practical training on emergency responses to human-wildlife conflict, emphasizing the critical role of local knowledge and community-driven solutions.
The workshop’s efforts culminated in 38 new “Snapshot Solutions” that will be published on the PANORAMA web platform, enriching an existing global repository of over 1,500 solutions. These contributions not only expand the global knowledge base but also foster peer-to-peer learning, enabling the scaling and replication of successful practices in both Africa and globally.
The workshop outcome aligns with global conservation goals, particularly the implementation of African nations’ National Biodiversity Strategies and Action Plans (NBSAPs) and meeting targets under the Kumming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework (GBF). By documenting and sharing best practices in wildlife and ecosystem conservation, the initiative aims to strengthen conservation efforts across the continent.
