This week, @AWF_Official was honored to host the PeaceNexus Foundation Cross-Country Exchange and Learning Workshop at our Nairobi headquarters.
In my opening remarks, I reminded participants of a truth we cannot afford to ignore: if conservation ignores conflict, it will fail. ict with sensitivity, conservation can become a force for peace, cohesion, and prosperity.
At AWF, conflict sensitivity has been at the heart of our 2030 Vision. Through our partnership with PeaceNexus Foundation, we have trained teams, developed standard practices, and created platforms that are transforming the way rangers, communities, and conservation leaders engage with one another. The result is stronger trust, reduced human-wildlife conflict, and more inclusive approaches to land use.
Conservation, at its best, is more than safeguarding wildlife, but it is laying the groundwork for peace, resilience, and shared prosperity.

Last week, @AWF_Official hosted the #AWFWestAfricanJournalism Workshop in Kinshasa, focusing on enhancing positive #African conservation storytelling.
At AWF, we understand the power of storytelling and journalists' pivotal role in shaping narratives, influencing public sitive change.
West Africa's rich biodiversity, unique ecosystems, and wildlife face increasing threats from #deforestation, poaching, #climatechange, and unsustainable development practices. The media serve as vital conduits of information, raising awareness, educating the public, and holding stakeholders accountable.
By empowering #FourthEstate with the knowledge, tools, and networks necessary to report on #conservation issues effectively, we aim to enhance the quality and impact of #environmentaljournalism in #WestAfrica and across the continent.

People centered conservation in Zambezi Valley is a reality today, and let's hope that the complaints management mechanism set up by @AWF will bring all partners together to achieve peaceful cohabitation by respecting each other's rights.

This weekend, an @AWF_Official plane made its first stop in #Zimbabwe on its way to the Democratic Republic of Congo where it will be supporting an @ecofac6 programme funded by the European Union. #conservation relies heavily on logistical support in order to achieve its goals.

In my feature in the latest edition of the @eawildlife @SwaraMagazine, we posit the impact of #human influence from the perspective of #AfricanWildlife. It is my hope that with this thought-provoking piece, we start to take the URGENT steps towards meeting our end of the bargain

The launch of the #GreenRecovery #ActionPlan was a brilliant example of how #Africa should unite to deliver a different development path & create an economy that protects, restores, & values nature. Special thanks to H.E @FelixUdps for his thought-provoking address. #AfricaWeWant
