The vital role of communications in managing Transfrontier Conservation Areas (TFCA)
Transfrontier Conservation Areas (TFCAs) are massive cross-border ecosystems. They share transboundary resources and have ecological corridors for species migration. These areas are critical to regional integration and sustainable development in Southern Africa. With 14 SADC-approved TFCAs spanning over a million square kilometers, their complexity is unmatched. A large part of their management relies on a shared communication strategy, looking at both the internal and external communication elements. This is vitally important to bride socio-political differences that have an influence on conservation measures.
