Wonderful piece! Thank you for sharing your insights with the community @Emily Caruso; would it perhaps be useful to feature the fellows' their story on WildHub to increase their reach? If so, please let me know, I would be happy to help.
Thank you for catalysing the sharing of Emily's lessons learned @Anne Mauro, valuable perspectives were shared.
Thanks @Thirza Loffeld , it would be great to discuss the opportunities for getting people's stories out!
Thanks for sharing Emily - very exciting opportunity. May I ask if you also have any opportunities for conservationists who need initial funding to dedicate time to set-up (eg register) their organisation?
@Fai Collins Ndi@Muthoni Njuguna@Aiita Joshua Apamaku : please share with your networks where relevant. Thank you
