CITES COP17 Conference is running from 24th September to 5th October in Johannesburg, South Africa. CITES (the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora) is an international agreement between governments. Its aim is to ensure that international trade in specimens of wild animals and plants does not threaten their survival. The SADC TFCA Network will have a permanent exhibition ("booth") and will organize various side events.

The Transfrontier Conservation Areas (TFCAs) in the SADC region contain numerous (and often very large) protected areas (PAs), community owned land and in some cases, private land. Achieving effective conservation and rural sustainable development in these landscapes is challenging because of growing population pressures, illegal hunting, encroachment of wild lands and a variety of other threats.

This is an Eco-challenge Walk up the Lubombo Mountains on the Maputaland Biodiversity Hotspot to help bring back nature walks and appreciation of the biodiversity hotspot.
It serves to also draw attention to the beauty of the Lubombo Landscape on which the Lubombo TFCA is set.
