Super green. Ethiopia tries to break world record by planting 200million trees in one day. Ends up planting 350million. Ethiopia is determined to reclaim lost forests, which covered 35% of country in 1900 but only 4% of country in 2000.

This #NewYear2023 we hope to see #Nature and #climatecrisis high on #African government lending conditions as part of the expansion of investment. We must rethink how private investments can be reshaped and harnessed for the benefit of #conservation . @AWF_Official

Today as we celebrate #InternationalWomensDay we congratulate women who've promoted conservation and #sustainabledevelopment in Africa. Africa must address and fight for #equality and empower women (who're managers of the largest percentage of Africans - the youth).

The mounting pressure on wildlife and wild lands posed by Africa’s accelerating growth requires African conservation practitioners at all levels of society to understand, innovate, lead, make decisions, and/or exert influence on the future direction of development. #AfricaWeWant

Great to read stories of #African conservation heroes like Jeneria from Northern Kenya! Communities living adjacent to wildlife must be actively involved in conservation. @tusk_org @EwasoLions

A brilliant read by good friend @JohnEScanlon highlighting the need for significant country policies & regulations in order to fight #illegalwildlifetrade head on. It is our individual responsibility to protect and safeguard our wildlife.

At @AWF_Official we have worked with these gorilla communities for decades and we have witnessed the familial cohesion demonstrated by these species with each other across these borders. As they reopen, I hope we treat this as a lesson to live together in harmony.

#Rwanda has announced it will re-open its borders with #Uganda as part of the efforts to give a fresh momentum between the two countries. Rwanda will reopen Gatuna Border Post on Monday January 31 to allow easy movement between the two countries.

Our #wildlife has lost a grand champion, again #DaphneSheldrick . Her determination, courage & commitment to #wildlifeconservation are qualities that should be replicated in her honor to ensure that Africa’s wildlife survives. Our sincere condolences to the family and to @DSWT .

Without photographs, how else would we capture the beauty and heritage that #Africa has to offer? On this #WorldPhotographyDay remember that a picture is a glimpse of someone's heart. So let us take as many as we can and preserve these precious memories! #MkapaAwards
