Her work integrates field ecological data, remote sensing, modelling, and biogeochemistry. Sally’s research on global fire regimes has highlighted misunderstandings about the role of humans in altering patterns of fire and has provided new tools for managing fire in conservation areas to promote biodiversity. Sally is a Professor at the University of the Witwatersrand, is on the advisory board of the Leverhulme Centre for Wildfires Environment and Society, is the co-chair of the SEOSAW steering committee and co-PI on OGRC-funded Future Ecosystems for Africa program. She is an associate editor for Ecology Letters and Trends in Ecology and Evolution. Barney Kgope Barney Kgope is the Director for Biodiversity Risk Management at the Department of Forestry, Fisheries and the Environment (DFFE). His current portfolio covers global change issues that include climate change, and biological invasions. Barney has co-authored several papers, reports, a book chapter and contributed to the Fourth Assessment Report (AR4) of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). Barney conceived of and led several key projects at the DFFE including the first National Terrestrial Carbon Sinks Assessment, the first National Carbon Atlas, EbA Priority Mapping and Action Plan for South Africa, Potential for Bio-char Production in SA and the first greenhouse gas emissions baseline for the Agriculture, Forestry and Other Land Use (AFOLU) sector, which won Best Project at the British High Commission awards ceremony in 2016. Dorothy Naitore Dorothy Naitore is a leader in The International Small Group and Tree Planting (TIST) Program serving small hold farmers as they plant trees and improve their farms and the climate.

About the Series Introducing “Tipping Points” the webinar series for topical discussions on issues affecting development and the environment in Africa. Guided by Oppenheimer Generations Research and Conservation’s approach of asking the questions that matter, this solutions-based webinar series explores how we can step back from environmental tipping points and foster a sustainable future for both Africa’s people and nature. Every month thought leaders, disruptors, and researchers gather to address key question for Africa’s future through an exploration of African environmental research, conservation, sustainability, and development. Complex challenges have no quick fixes. Inclusive conversation that shares perspectives, uplifts African narratives, challenges conservation paradigms, and interrogates possible paths of action is critical in navigating complicated, interconnected issues. Join the conversation in the last week of every month! Find out more at https://ogresearchconservation.org/
