Happy #WorldWildlifeDay from Nairobi! Prof @ErustusKanga says, “Tech succeeds because of people. Policy, people & conservation are now fused to see further, respond faster, decide smarter” We're proud to work with @KWSKenya to build holistic digital systems for conservation🤝

Spoke at #GCTDF2026 on a simple truth: In conservation, budgets, technology and policy are decided in rooms where structural power sits. If women are absent from those rooms, outcomes are shaped without us. Representation is visibility. Governance is influence. @KenyaWildTrust

Wildlife is not only what walks or roars. It is also what grows quietly beneath our feet and across our landscapes. This World Wildlife Day, we look beyond the iconic species and celebrate the full web of life. wildlifeday.org/en 📸 @WildlifeDay, @CITES

Day 1 at the #GCTDF2026🌍 We're thrilled to support the Women in Conservation Forum with a hands-on PAT Taster Session of Collaborating for Conservation – Managing Partnerships. The room was full, the energy high, and the insights inspiring. Thanks for the warm welcome, Nairobi
