The Ministry of Environment, Forestry, and Tourism is set to host a two-day workshop on Access and Benefit Sharing (ABS) under the Nagoya Protocol from 25 to 26 September in Windhoek. The workshop, titled “Building Capacity for Ethical Storytelling and Legal Compliance,” aims to address critical knowledge gaps that hinder effective reporting on biodiversity conservation and equitable benefit-sharing. The Ministry stated that this training is designed for professionals who regularly work with stories involving environmental conservation, biodiversity issues, traditional knowledge systems, and scientific research. The workshop will focus on building capacity for ethical storytelling and ensuring compliance with the legal framework of the Nagoya Protocol. “The workshop will also help participants develop ethical protocols for documenting indigenous knowledge systems, create compelling narratives that make AMB concepts accessible to the public, and establish collaborative relationships with government regulators and community representatives,” they added.
