African Conference for Linear Infrastructure & Ecology

The website for the ACLIE is officially open for registrations.  

The inaugural African Conference for Linear Infrastructure and Ecology (ACLIE) will be held in 2019 in the iconic Kruger National Park, co-hosted by the Endangered Wildlife Trust and Eskom.  Centered around the theme Building Partnerships and Investing in nature:  the Linear Way in Africa, the conference will focus on the intersection of people and linear infrastructure, specifically how both people and nature are connected along, across and between different types of infrastructure.

All conference arrangements will be facilitated and managed by africaMASSIVE, a professional conference organising company.

The aims of ACLIE are:

1. To promote a safe and ecologically sustainable pan-African linear infrastructure; and,
2. To promote networking opportunities and effective partnerships that facilitate communication and exchange of knowledge, ideas and news.

Our focus will target four main themes:

• Impacts of Linear Infrastructure on local flora and fauna;
• Linear infrastructure through sensitive areas;
• Mitigating impacts; and
• Building partnerships
