The Chiveve Green Infrastructure Park in the city of Beira will host the third edition of the Marine Biodiversity Conference (CBM) on 3 and 4 September, an initiative organised by Biofund.
The event, which aims to reinforce the national commitment to the protection and enhancement of Mozambique's coastal and marine natural heritage, will also feature a thematic exhibition that will run until the 9th of the same month.
Promoted by the Foundation for the Conservation of Biodiversity (Biofund), in conjunction with several partner organisations, the conference is part of the activities of the Futuro Azul project, led by the Wildlife Conservation Society (WCS) and funded by the Blue Action Fund (BAF).
Since 2023, this conference has established itself as an annual platform for meeting and coordination between the State, civil society, local communities, the academic sector and the business community.
The event provides a privileged space for dialogue and exchange on strategies for marine biodiversity conservation, sustainable management of coastal and marine ecosystems, and the role of science, art and culture in enhancing the value of the Mozambican marine environment.
According to the organization, as part of the conference preparations, the Biofund team recently made a technical visit to Chiveve Park, accompanied by representatives of the Provincial Government of Sofala and the Municipality of Beira, with the aim of identifying the strategic locations that will host the various activities of the event.
The 3rd Marine Biodiversity Conference thus promises to be a milestone in the joint effort for the sustainability of Mozambique's marine resources, promoting the construction of a more resilient future for coastal communities and the country.
