Role models for our Next Generation of conservationists

The PACE Careers in Conservation module shares the stories of people who have made successful careers in wildlife and nature conservation. Some started by chance, others planned carefully, some have university degrees, others are technicians who learned on the job - everyone has their own journey. Conservation provides an extraordinary and increasing range of job and career opportunities, all across Africa. We hope that by sharing success stories, we can inform and inspire our Next Generation of Conservationists. Hasabwamariya [...]

We have worked with young conservationists throughout the school holidays, connecting, informing, sharing, promoting the work they do. Young conservationists who are all activists in their own different ways, inspiring and influencing their peers, parents and communities and making concrete differences, some lobbying, some greening a neighbourhood, organising for sustainable waste management, planting trees or changing lifestyle decisions in their family or policies in their schools. Our young conservationists have been enabled and encouraged by joining environment or wildlife clubs or [...]

Conservation depends on people with all manner of backgrounds, skills and interests. Take Ivy, TUSK's Programmes Coordinator. Ivy grew up in Kenya's Rift Valley region and studied Business and IT in Nairobi - “I was an intern at an advertising agency. I saw an advertisement for a job at a Conservancy and it seemed like an interesting opportunity, so I took the leap without having any experience in the field! Luckily, it paid off. I've now had four different employers in [...]

Many people do not know how they can be involved in or how they could work in conservation. The PACE Careers in Conservation module tries to address this by showing a wide range of employment and career roles that exist. It shares the stories of people who have made successful careers in Conservation - the kind of jobs they have, what it involves and the impact they have had. Successful conservation is as much about people as it is about wildlife. [...]

Careers in Conservation – Teacher

Education, teachers and trainers are the backbone of conservation. We depend on them: from language teachers explaining vocabulary; biology teachers explaining ecosystems, water and soil cycles; maths teachers providing the skills to understand statistics, to community educators helping rural communities protect their livestock and earn a living alongside wildlife. Teachers in schools, colleges, urban and rural communities, in education centres and local councils are making a massive contribution to conservation across Africa. If you are making career choices and keen on [...]

"I finally met the famous Black Mambas Anti-poaching Unit!" When Palloma Pachiti, PACE Champion and expert educator in Zimbabwe kindly reviewed drafts of the new PACE educational materials earlier this year, she was excited to read about the Black Mambas from South Africa. Palloma runs the Sebakwe Conservation and Education Centre in the Midlands of Zimbabwe. What she read about the Black Mamba's work immediately inspired her to add new dimensions to her own projects with communities in Zimbabwe. We were [...]
