One of Africa’s great opportunities in the 21st century is its wildlife and natural resources. To maximize this rich endowment, the continent needs home-grown leaders to spearhead its conservation efforts. The ALU School of Wildlife Conservation was created in collaboration with leading players in the sector to develop future and current African leaders who make it their life’s mission to conserve Africa’s natural heritage.
