GCWIHABA: The Department of National Museum and Monuments (DNMM) in partnership with France researchers hosted a two day media engagement at Gcwihaba and Koanaka caves.

The main aim of the media engagement was for the partners to share their project on the human origins in Botswana (also Hominids in Karst project), a scientific research collaboration between the Botswana through the National Museum and French (CNRS) governments launched in 2020.
