The Business of Conservation Conference
Breaking down the silos in conservation
We convene a wide array of stakeholders to promote best practices, strengthen networks, and collectively tackle the challenges of conservation. The first of these was the 2018 BCC which hosted 300 leaders from conservation, ecotourism, politics, conservation philanthropy and investors.
Executive Development
A suite of executive development courses on leadership in conservation
The School develops and delivers Executive Development courses to mid-career professionals designed to upskill or provide new skills in various areas that are critical to the business of conservation, as well as supply leadership training. The programs also provide a platform for participants to expand their professional networks across the African continent and beyond, opening new opportunities for collaboration with conservation peers
Entrepreneurship in Conservation
Discovering and grooming the next generation of entrepreneurs in Conservation
We aim to discover and incubate new revenue models that do not depend on tourism, but still enable local communities within African countries to obtain their livelihoods from wildlife, manage their natural resources sustainably, and improve their collective wellbeing. Participants have the chance to win a place in the African Leadership University’s incubation programme and access to seed money.
