In my latest op-ed that has been published today in the BusinessDaily, I share my reflections on how innovative financial mechanisms—like the newly launched Africa Insurance Risk Pool for Nature—can play a transformative role in reshaping conservation economics across the continent.

This morning, I had a very insightful meeting with Jean-Guy K. Afrika, the new CEO of the Rwanda Development Board. Our discussion reaffirmed the firm foundation of collaboration between AWF and the Government of Rwanda, while also discussing ambitious opportunities at the intersection of

Pleased to share the release of our 2024 AWF Annual Report, which offers a timely reflection on how conservation in Africa is evolving—guided by context, grounded in local priorities, and driven by African leadership. This report is both a record of progress and an

“Shifting Priorities, Shared Futures” a critical, timely meeting hosted by Kaddu Sebunya AWF in D.C.

Honored to speak with Kaddu Sebunya and partners at today’s Indaba on the Future of Environmental Conservation in Africa, hosted by AWF in DC. Africa is leading bold, homegrown solutions for people, nature, and economies to thrive together.

Yesterday, in Washington D.C., I had the honour of opening “Shifting Priorities, Shared Futures: Rethinking Conservation and Development in Africa,” an AWF-led dialogue that brought together leading voices in conservation, finance, and policy. The message was clear:

This #MothersDay, I want to pause and honour the woman whose strength grounds everything I do. My wife is not only the mother of our children—she is the heart of our family, our home, and so often, my compass. I see in her the same resilience I’ve witnessed in women across

Yesterday evening in Washington, D.C., I had the privilege of sharing time with three of the AWF former board chairs—Heather, Dennis, and David—whose collective 18 years of leadership have helped shape the direction and values of our organization. We spoke candidly

On this #EndangeredSpeciesDay, we are reminded that protecting threatened species requires more than commitment—it demands collaboration, leadership, and recognition of what works. In the Democratic Republic of Congo, AWF efforts to combat wildlife trafficking are

Last Friday, I had the chance to reconnect with my friend, journalist and author David Yarnold in New York at The New York Times Building — not just for a conversation, but for a moment that reminded me why I do this work. David’s new book, The Geography of Hope, (I hope you

This #WorldEnvironmentDay, we’re reminded that Africa’s wild spaces are not immune to this crisis. Without urgent action, the amount of plastic entering our environment will only rise—pushing fragile habitats, and the species that depend on them, closer to collapse by 2040. At

This #WorldEnvironmentDay, we’re reminded that #plasticpollution is not just an environmental issue—it’s a governance one. Africa is not powerless in the face of pollution. We have the policy frameworks, the innovation, and the community willpower. What we need now is political

As finance ministers across East Africa prepare to deliver their national budgets tomorrow, I hope they’re ready to face a hard truth: You cannot grow an economy while destroying the very systems that sustain it. In my latest op-ed for The East African Newspaper, I called out

In Kenya, a recent rhino monitoring initiative has drawn attention to the critical role of ear-notching in modern conservation. The process, which involves creating unique markings on each rhino’s ears, allows wildlife authorities to identify and track individual animals. This

Great to see my interview with the talented Jackie Lumbasi on Rwanda Broadcasting Agency Rwanda Broadcasting Agency (RBA)'s The Real Talk is finally out. During my recent trip to Rwanda, I had the chance to sit down for a powerful conversation on what it means to reimagine conservation through an

Excited to return to Austria today for the 2025 Salzburg Global Weekend—a gathering that will boldly focus on centering Africa in the conversation about shaping the 21st century. Last year, we envisioned what it could look like to move from dialogue to co-creation. This weekend,
