Developing strong conservation leaders for West Africa.
One of the biggest targets for the ALU School of Wildlife Conservation https://sowc.alueducation.com/ in 2020 is to grow the number of conservation leaders in West Africa. Biodiversity possesses marked economic value but in West Africa, the indicators of biodiversity continue to point to an accelerating species loss and continuous degradation. We believe that this situation can be averted by strong conservation leaders. For this reason, the African Leadership University through its School of Wildlife Conservation is driving a MAVA sponsored scholarship campaign. The objective is to develop current and future generations of West African leaders who can create economic value from wildlife conservation activities in the region.
