What If We Changed The Narrative About Conservation? | Sue Snyman | TEDxALURwanda

Join Dr. Sue Snyman in this TEDx Talk as she challenges us to rethink conservation as a vital contributor to development, rather than a barrier to it. Through compelling graphics and hard-hitting facts, Dr. Snyman illuminates the extensive value of wildlife to economies across Africa, showcasing it as an underutilized asset with the potential to unlock remarkable economic opportunities. Her talk is an invitation to view conservation through a new lens, where protection goes hand-in-hand with prosperity. By investing in our natural world, we can create sustainable wildlife economies that not only promote conservation but also drive development. Take part in this innovative approach that could redefine Africa's relationship with its natural capital. What steps will you take to contribute to this change? Susan Snyman, PhD, is the Director of Research at the African Leadership University’s School of Wildlife Conservation.
