The Honey-hunting Research Network (coordinated by Jessica van der Wal) met in Cape Town for a very enjoyable week of analysing and comparing interview data from honey-hunting cultures across Africa, painting a picture of the human cultural variation relevant to honeyguides, and its uncertain future on a rapidly changing continent. Joining in person were Wiro-Bless Kamboe, Rochelle Mphetlhe, George M’manga, Sanele Nhlabatsi, Daniella Mhangwana, Celiwe Ngcamphalala, Claire Spottiswoode and Jessica van der Wal. The meeting mostly took place in the Niven Library at the FitzPatrick Institute of African Ornithology, but also included a creative workshop at Kirstenbosch Botanical Gardens and a trip to Scarborough. Thank you to the Cultural Evolution Society Transformation Fund for funding our get-together!
