PACE Impact Report 2025

  Hamish Stewart's recent Impact evaluation has made us feel proud of PACE and it's amazing network of educators, in schools, conservancies and wider communities all across Africa. WHY EVALUATE ?   PACE is extremely popular, with an estimated 1.6 million children using PACE materials across Africa, as of 2025.  But are these resources and the way they are used making a difference to conservation and to people's lives.  This evaluation attempted to answer those questions, building on previous detailed evaluations in [...]

Conservation educators Learning Circle

Last week the PACE Conservation Educators Learning Circle held its latest on-line meeting. Palloma Pachiti, one of our team in Zimbabwe, prepared a session for educators in South Africa, very much based on ideas and techniques that had particularly resonated with kids club leaders at a training with RWCA in Kigali recently. It was great to be sharing learning and successes, that's what PACE is all about after all - a Pan African Conservation Education ! The RWCA - Rwanda Wildlife [...]

PACE Pangolin resource

We are so excited to have completed our first Pangolin resource. It's full of wonderful photos and simple text, 40 pages that show and explain what pangolins are, why they are important, their taxonomy, the species, where they live, their habits, feeding, adaptations, reproduction, the threats they face and work being done to protect them. Pangolin are shy creatures, usually nocturnal so not often seen, we hope this book will bring them alive, to people who live alongside and are in [...]

PDC expanding conservation ed in Zimbabwe schools

We are pleased to have helped Painted Dog Conservation, with planning, teaching and training materials and connections, as they take their education programme to Mana Pools area. PDC has a wonderful and long standing education programme. They work with communities and most notably with young people in their schools and through holiday camps - communities that live alongside Painted dogs. Except, some of the dogs moved, away from their established range, into a new area, less busy but where the [...]

‘Concrete’ results from Lokusero primary’s School Garden.

Eighteen months ago the school grounds at Lokusero primary, in Kenya, were regularly visited by elephants.  Elephants drank from, and damaged, the water storage tanks and rendered attempts to garden or have a student farm pointless  - too much ended up eaten or trampled.  Everyone was thankful (though perhaps not the elephants ..) when Borana wildlife conservancy assisted by enclosing the school grounds with elephant fencing. It meant the environment club could embark on long wished for projects - to plant [...]

Bujengwe Primary school in Uganda say thank you to Nick Bubb and Tusk.

  Back in March our new Tusk CEO Nick Bubb was in Uganda with Conservation Through Public Health.  He saw the amazing work CTPH are doing for Mountain gorilla conservation in Bwindi National Park, and their achievements improving the well-being and opportunities for rural communities living close to the protected area.  While local people appreciate the benefits CTPH, the gorillas and gorilla tourism have brought, it's a remote mountainous area, and life is still not easy.   Especially in some of the [...]

New PACE workbook

The latest PACE resource, co-produced with VulPro and the Southern Africa Wildlife College, celebrates the work of young conservationists in clubs we partnered with last year.  We were thrilled and inspired by the artwork they shared with us: poems, stories, anecdotes, drawings and painting, sent by students and their teachers, some from VulCha and other school clubs, some from kids who'd made school excursions or just had a class on wildlife.  The creativity is inspiring, the insight, understanding and compassion is [...]

PACE in Zimbabwe

Zimbabwe has vast areas of wild land, amazing ecosystems that are important habitat for African wildlife: lion, cheetah, leopard, painted dogs, elephant, buffalo, a plethora of herbivores, bird and aquatic life.     Some of these areas are protected, many are not.  In almost all, there is a need for conservation and sustainability education – to help people better understand the pressures they and the modern world put on the natural  environment, and how we can live well, more sustainably, and [...]
