WESSA COMMENT: DRAFT WHITE PAPER ON CONSERVATION AND SUSTAINABLE USE OF SOUTH AFRICA’S BIODIVERSITY 2022
Date
9 September 2022 8:30 p.m.
Dear Portfolio Committee on Forestry, Fisheries and the Environment,

I had trouble with my computer and got this comment in on Friday 9th September instead of Thursday 8th September.

I would appreciate it if the comment could nevertheless be admitted for consideration as it took a long time to put it together. I can resend it to a different address from whitepaper@dffe.gov.za if needed.

Warm regards
Patrick Dowling
Wildlife and Environment Society of South Africa (WESSA)
