The Next Generation Simply put, there are not enough people in the wings to do the heavy lifting for wildlife in the future. And with the focus on money, fewer are heading for key positions to make the right decisions for wildlife. It just makes sense to influence young Africans to find their passion for wildlife; like assisting Saviours of wildlife in conservation education, helping veterinary student with tuition, imparting knowledge to young wildlife ambassadors groups in Africa.
Remember :
1.Not enough people who care To be honest, so many of the people we meet everyday in saving wildlife are older people. Please don’t take offense but do you see the problem. As they retire, these wonderful people are not being replaced quickly enough. Also, with the shift to African rule, we see more opportunity and need for local people to be involved.Im very encouraged with some amazing young people finding their Wildlife passion.
2.Key decision makers Ordinary people like us can’t get an audience with famous people or a President. Even a heartfelt letter will only be read by a subordinate. We also have little impact on a Natinal parks,Game Park Manager or a lawyer arguing a casenij courts. Their priorities are set and their attitudes solidified.But what if someone had reached out when they were young to help reinforce their priorities and attitudes? Guess what, it is easy to help young high potential wildlife people with College or training. Tuition is only $4000/year but impossible for most. Imagine many more people following their passions, making big decisions for Wildlife and saving more animals one at a time. What a great return on investment.
Join us and save wildlife.

Conservation has always been a major part of my life. Growing up I revered leaders like famous oceanographer Jacques Cousteau and conservationist Jane Goodall, and I dreamed of becoming a swayful wildlife conservationist one day. Some of my fondest memories are of exploring the Amani forests with my college's friend, learning about both the awesome power of nature the threats to its well being.
I ultimately pursued a career in wildlife management at college of African wildlife management -Mweka and my friends too become a conservationists. Together, we founded Saviours of Wildlife with our slogan that Who pays for wildlife and who benefits?.
I recognize there are many conservation organizations doing incredible work on behalf of our planet and the many species who call it home.
I wanted to create an organization that complemented and collaborated with these organizations, so we chose to focus on protecting lesser-known endangered species.
My speech
If there’s one thing we know about life on Earth, it is that all of our diverse animals, plants, soil structures and waterways are interconnected in complex ways, many of which we cannot fully understand. In order to maintain ecological balance, we need to focus on all of the puzzle pieces–and this is becoming harder to do as we lose more and more species to climate change and human activity.
Saviors of wildlife focuses on lesser-known species because they are our early-warning signals for larger issues facing the ecosystem. For example, amphibians have a tremendous impact on their environment. They are not the face of environmental conservation in the same way as elephants,rhinoceros or gorillas, but because of their size and genetic makeup, these creatures are much more sensitive to climate change.
For example, saviour of wildlife is working to save amphibians, reptiles but also supporting efforts of conserving big wildlife like Rhino, giraffe and elephants through conservation education and capacity building to wildlife practititoners.
Saviours of wildlife is also working to save the world’s most endangered marine mammals. Only about 30% are left in the wild due to them becoming entangled in gill nets set for illegal fishing activities.The marine creatures are the most endangered Species.
Our planet is facing a biodiversity crisis. Last month , I was fortunate to share comment with Jane Goodall to discuss this critical issue. She reminded the word that she spoke to me 5 years ago “don’t forget, every single one of you makes a difference every single day.”
As we sit on the brink of losing thousands of more species, throwing our future into jeopardy, I am now asking you to make smart decisions .Please join us in reversing this crisis and making our collective future more secure contact
