Скачать или смотреть IUCN Regional Director on Africa’s Conservation Funding Crisis

As the world celebrates World Wildlife Day (3rd March) and Africa’s extraordinary wildlife, a harder question emerges: Who carries the real cost of conservation when donor funding declines?

In this timely conversation, we speak with Luther Bois Anukur, Regional Director for Eastern and Southern Africa at the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN), who brings over 25 years of experience in conservation and sustainable development.

We explore:
• How shrinking traditional donor funding is reshaping conservation in Africa
• Why local communities often bear the greatest conservation costs
• The urgent need for community-led conservation enterprises
• How the IUCN Red List helps identify species at risk
• How the IUCN Green List recognizes conservation areas that actually work
• Why biodiversity should be treated like national infrastructure
• Practical ways governments can balance development with ecosystem protection
This discussion goes beyond wildlife — it touches on economics, policy, livelihoods, and Africa’s future.

If you care about conservation, climate, development, or community empowerment, this is a conversation you should not miss.
