"Let Africans decide". Whose voices should we listen to? Celebrities famous for acting, or representatives of more than 50 community conservation organizations in Africa? bit.ly/3jsDwFf

As California debates banning the import of hunting trophies, #BlackLivesMatter says "In effect, they’re saying it’s racist & insulting for wealthy white Westerners to imply that all Africans are too corrupt or incompetent to make hunting sustainable" bit.ly/3fqtZfo

For those who don't yet understand how the monster of "community based conservation" destroys pastoralist societies. Watch how self sufficiency and sustainability is transformed into dependency and slavery to raise funds. Any questions? youtu.be/clnpNc3zBRg

This WWF exposé by ⁦@BuzzFeedNews⁩ deserves @PulitzerPrizes⁩. These heinous crimes & sanctioned coverups reveal why global conservation is failing. NGOs have become sleeping policemen to progress their own agenda in human-wildlife conflict zones. buzzfeednews.com/article/kat…

If we expect conservation to be successful with only biologists, ecologists, academics & traditional "conservationists" working on the issues, we will fail. We need to find ways for ppl of all backgrounds to join in & work together for species & ecosystems #ConservationOptimism
