GOOD NEWS: In a historic comeback, rhinos have returned to the wild in Uganda for the first time in over 40 years—reviving a species once wiped out by poaching in the 1980s.

At #GCTDF2026 in Nairobi, one message stood out: conservation’s future isn’t just tech — it’s equity, inclusion & collaboration.
The shift? From tools → systems. Pilots → locally owned solutions. Innovation → real-world impact.
