@Africa4Wildlife @CWitvrouwen @EastMan333 @paulakahumbu @dendresner @humphreyndegwa Drawing lines and bringing in fences, boundaries, and guns are strategies that haven't worked; we are losing our wildlife because everyday decisions are made without compassion

@Africa4Wildlife @CWitvrouwen @EastMan333 @paulakahumbu @dendresner @humphreyndegwa We believe in conservation that protects wildlife. While we respect Tanzania's sovereignty in addressing conservation, we do not support trophy hunting and advocate for sustainable practices that benefit wildlife and local communities.

As we mark Wangari Maathai's 13th anniversary of her passing, we honour her legacy of planting seeds of hope, justice, and change. Her vision for a greener, more just world lives on in every tree planted and every life touched. Her spirit continues to inspire us all.

In both human and elephant cultures, 13 marks a significant milestone in life; a coming of age and transition into the adult world. Today, MEP is celebrating our 13th Anniversary. It’s a coming of age with a focus on moving conflict to coexistence. Join us https://t.co/IqDVdIIUwr

[Kaddu Sebunya @AWFCEO]

If we are to succeed in building a future for #Africa where #people and #wildlife thrive, we must engage with #youth in meaningful and impactful ways.
We must help everyone recognize that #conservation is more than just about conserving wildlife and habitats; it is about ensuring that the people who live in and around conservation areas have a stake in their future.
It is about creating opportunities for #youth to lead, innovate, and drive change. #Africanconservation

We are excited to have launched our three-day Boys Camp, dedicated to holistic development and conservation education. As Eric Mungai wisely said, 'If we don't do something for boys and men, we would have done nothing for women and girls.'
