GreenMatter is continously engaging with various organisational partners and key contributors on the topic of Leadership for Biodiversity and as a sector we have generated invaluable input in initiating the journey towards developing, strengthening and transforming Leadership for Biodiversity.
 
We are excited that the outcomes are a positive start of a process that will pull together combined experiences and best practice for the collective benefit of Biodiversity organisations.

Interventions List - developed by workshop participants in 2011
Report 2: Leadership workshop, 26 June 2012

Various participants undertook to form Task Teams that would lead on the identification, definition and conceptualisation of specific interventions.

TASK 1 - Leadership Model Task Team

(Debbie Farnaby (RangeWave), Mark Dent (UKZN), Pete Zacharias (Lewis Foundation), Eureta Rosenberg( GreenMatter)and Chantal Ramcharan-Kotze (GreenMatter)

The Model Task team had 3 outcomes to achieve:

• Refine the objectives for Biodiversity Leadership ;
• Develop Leadership and Leadership Development Models; and
• Communicate the draft model/s for feedback from the Biodiversity sector.

The task team has since developed an Infographic to demonstrate the significance and applicability of the model.
