Africa-Press – Seychelles. <\/strong><\/span>Nature Seychelles has bagged support from Huawei Technologies to improve conservation through use of novel technology.<\/b><\/p>\n

A new project titled \u2018Next-Gen Conservation: Applying and sharing lessons in the use of technology and digital based solutions for island and coastal conservation management\u2019 has received a grant of US $200,000.<\/p>\n

The project is part of a global initiative by Huawei called Tech4Nature, which is currently located in five flagship countries namely Switzerland, China, Thailand, Mauritius, Seychelles and Spain.<\/p>\n

The goal is that 300 nature conservation areas worldwide eventually form part of this initiative.<\/p>\n

It is being led by IUCN\u2019s (the International Union for Conservation of Nature) Global Protected Areas Programme.<\/p>\n

The project seeks to improve digital connectivity on Cousin Island Special Reserve, and will develop and roll out specific tech-driven activities to scale up conservation of sea turtles, coral reefs, and endemic bird monitoring.<\/p>\n

The project will also assist Cousin Island Special Reserve management to work towards eventual certification of the reserve under the IUCN Green List, an international standard that certifies and recognises effectively managed protected area sites.<\/p>\n

Dr Nirmal Shah, the NGO\u2019s chief executive, said that Nature Seychelles was invited to become part of this global programme after he wrote an article in May 2020 soon after the start of the Covid-19 pandemic entitled ‘Next-Gen Conservation: Biodiversity Conservation needs a radical make-over to get over Covid-19’.<\/b><\/p>\n

\u201cThe article was far more influential than I ever expected,\u201d he said. It was republished by IUCN and that organisation subsequently invited Dr Shah to make a presentation at Huawei\u2019s first Tech4All global webinar.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe really need to thank our long-term partner IUCN. People at IUCN worked hard to include us in this global initiative despite Huawei not having a country office or official presence in Seychelles,\u201d says Dr Shah. \u201cThis once again shows that having consistent world-class achievements under one\u2019s belt are a key to building and consolidating important international partnerships,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are also working with local companies to develop these next-gen tech solutions. Through this project we want to scale up the energy and capacity of tech people locally to develop new products and services for conservation. We are therefore also building a new community of practice,\u201d he concludes.<\/p>\n
