BHL Africa
Thanks to the generosity of the JRS Foundation, an initial meeting with potential African BHL participants was held in Chicago (Nov 2011).
In June 2012, again with the support of the JRS Foundation, the first BHL African Organizational meeting will be held in Cape Town in conjunction with the SANBI BIMF 2012 meeting.
Over 25 participants from sub-Saharan Africa will join BHL members to discuss the parameters of a BHL Africa.
