 My name is Chris Ben-Piri. I'm a university lecturer at Chinau University of Technology. I'm actually an ecologist and aquatic ecologist. I previously worked for the Department of National Parks and Wildlife, but it's been 10 years or so ago, for 3 years. There's an ecologist, the wildlife, aquatic fisheries. I got involved in the last NBSAP formulation. I was basically looking at broadly, largely aquatic biodiversity, although I did obviously strain to the other fields. The biodiversity mainstream is not taking involved, basically getting all stakeholders as many as possible together in a workshop and trying to get input from them. What are the issues, what are the challenges, what are the constraints? What can we do with regards to biodiversity? That was basically what we did within a workshop scenario. The results of the biodiversity stock taking was, it was broadly that with regards to Zimbabwe, in terms of our policies, we are alright. In terms of if you look at our policies, with your policies, there is an aspect of environment custodianship, environment custodianship in biodiversity conservation management. The issue is implementation because largely I think the lack of resources is what our major challenges. So even in terms of our major current development plan, which is Zimbabwe Agenda for Sustainable Social Economic Transformation, biodiversity is mentioned or environmental management is mentioned or conservation and the challenge we are having as a people is implementation, how to get from the books, from the papers on to the ground. We've got that Syria challenge in terms of resources. So that was the major outcome from there. I think over the next year I think we need to get together again as a group. We've been talking as a group and say to get together as a group and come up with a program that just identifies what we can do at the level of institutions. At the moment it's the institutions that are basically custodians of this. At the level what can be done beginning of interactions among themselves, the process of getting together and talking because one of the aspect we found was this a bit silo mentality. People working in different areas without strong coordination and strong linkages. That's what we are targeting at the moment. I think it's not very ambitious but I think it's a start to take us somewhere in the long run.
