A discussion about recognizing the interdependence of environmental health, animal health and human well-being, known as One Health - foundational to the lives and culture of local and indigenous peoples. The Annual Forum on Wildlife Conservation in Africa aims to initiate conversation among the African Diaspora community and friends of Africa about how they can take an active and visible role in supporting indigenous wildlife conservation efforts. As the organizer of the Wildlife Conservation in Africa conference, African Symposium has partnered with conservationists, non-profits, thought leaders, and activists to discuss key conservation topics and foster lively debate on current and future action. This annual event aims to encourage political and cultural advocacy that is inclusive of local communities at the forefront of conservation efforts and supports grassroots action to protect biodiversity and safeguard endangered species while protecting local livelihoods.
