We are thrilled to announce that Agnes Tjirare, Children in The Wilderness (CITW) Namibia, and Aline Umutoni, CITW Rwanda, have been listed among the Top 100 Young African Conservation Leaders list!
The panel received 565 nominations from 425 youth organisations and networks, which underwent a rigorous judging and verification process.
The Top 100 will have access to a one-year leadership development programme aimed at enabling them to have the knowledge and skills to improve the design of their initiatives, implementation models, community engagement, networking and resource mobilisation. The programme will give the Top 100 access to mentorship from industry leaders in nature and wildlife conservation.
