Hello Boikutso from Botswana and others on the list. I am writing from Maun, Botswana where we are working on a small GBIF BID project to rescue hunting records and data from the Botswana Wildlife Management Association. The main work is taking place at the University of Botswana's Okavango Research Institute, with the library as the repository for the materials, and data entered into the GBIF's databases. I am the PI for the project, working with my colleagues Olebogeng Suwe, Anastacia Makati, Mosepele Boiditswe, Mogae Makonyela, Ben Thupe, Dr Lucas Rutina, Keta Mosepele, Gosego Moreri, Masego Dhliwayo, Wame Mpinang, and Debbie Peake. We are looking forward to learning more about biodiversity data management with all of you.

Hello everyone, My name is Boikhutso and i am a representative from Botswana on the African Insect Atlas project. The project is on digitising and mobilising data on insect specimens. With our portion in the Botswana National Museum, we had just kicked off with data entry on MS Excel, of which we believe will gain momentum and go at a faster pace. I hope all is well with everyone's project and i do hope we will have a wonderful and beneficial experience interacting in this forum....
