Endangered Wildlife Trust - eDNA by Samantha Mynhardt Dr Mynhardt’s pioneering work with environmental DNA reflects a transformative vision for conservation. By adapting eDNA techniques, traditionally used in marine biology, to terrestrial environments, she has developed a non-invasive, efficient method to detect and monitor elusive species. Collaborating with the Endangered Wildlife Trust and South African universities, Dr Mynhardt’s work advances scientific knowledge and trains young scientists and community members in eDNA techniques Inverroche Bee&Bee of #GridWorldwide Solitary Bees pollinate 1/3 of the world’s food crops. They don’t live in hives, but in naturally occurring holes like decaying trees and riverbanks. Due to urbanisation, their nesting grounds are fast disappearing. Inverroche appreciates that these bees pollinate their Gin’s key ingredient Fynbos, so they designed innovative packaging for their bottles which after use can act as Bee Hotels that mimic Solitary Bee’s natural nesting grounds.

🌍 Inspiring Sustainability and Community Upliftment at the Consumer Goods Council of South Africa Annual Summit!🌍 Yesterday, I had the pleasure of attending The Consumer Goods Council of South Africa (CGCSA), and one of the highlights was connecting with the team at Urban Surfer South Africa (https://urbansurfer.co.za)). It was truly inspiring to hear their story and learn about how they are driving positive change in both the recycling space and the communities that are at the heart of these efforts. ♻️ Urban Surfer is not just redefining waste management — they are empowering the people who collect and sort waste, providing opportunities, fair wages, and support to uplift communities that are often overlooked. Their approach is a fantastic example of a circular economy that prioritizes social impact as much as environmental sustainability. 🌱 👏🏽 Kudos to the Urban Surfer team and Sifiso Gumbi for your incredible work in making a difference where it matters most: helping people and building stronger communities. Keep pushing boundaries and setting a powerful example for others to follow! #Sustainability #Recycling #CommunityUpliftment #CGCSA #UrbanSurfer #CircularEconomy #SocialImpact
