We would like to extend our sincere gratitude for your ongoing support, patience, and commitment to the establishment of the Citizen Science Association for Southern Africa (CSA_SA).
It gives us great pleasure to announce that, after considerable effort and perseverance, the CSA_SA has now been officially registered as a Not-for-Profit Company (NPC) under the registration number 2025/659711/08. This milestone marks an exciting and important step forward for our collective efforts to strengthen and grow the citizen science community across the region.
With this formal foundation in place, we are now moving into the next phase – convening our members to collaboratively chart the way forward for the Association. We are therefore proposing to convene a virtual meeting on Wednesday, 19 November 2025 at 10h00 AM (SAST). Please see the attached letter for more information.
We look forward to your participation and to continuing this journey together in building a strong and representative citizen science community in Southern Africa.
Warm regards,
Jacqueline Goldin, Linda Downsborough and Vanessa Stippel
On behalf of the Interim Steering Committee of the Citizen Science Association for Southern Africa
