Raindance Systems was proud to be a major sponsor of this event.
With over 300 delegates and presentations from over 30 Indigenous Ranger groups, Scientists, and 35 International delegates.
This was a sold-out event. The 2023 theme was ‘Our Past informs our Future’, which picked up on the theme of the State of the Environment Report released in 2022. Locally and globally, the past is a rich source of useful information.
The 2023 Forum focused on how experience, history, evidence, and case studies can be used to inform and empower decision-making in the savanna burning space. It explored both traditional and mainstream forms of knowledge sharing within the network and beyond.
Raindance carried out a live demonstration to the international delegates as part of the International Savanna Fire Initiative. A Robinson R44 Helicopter was kindly supplied by Paul Blore from Outback Helicopters for the demonstration. This was a well-received demonstration with some of the international delegates present for the large-scale burns Raindance conducted with Africa Parks and the Chobe National Park in Africa later this year.
