About Kenalekgosi Gontse

I am a highly driven conservation scientist with experience working in the environment, tourism, and conservation fields. In addition, I am also a BEAPA Certified Environmental Assessment Practitioner. My contribution to conservation is through both social science and natural science, with several academic journals, focusing much on Biodiversity conservation and rural livelihood nexus.  Throughout my career, I have a proven track record of coordinating conservation projects for several non-governmental organizations (NGOs), where I gained valuable experience in natural resource management. I coordinated and managed project activities, developed and implemented stakeholder engagement initiatives, and formed alliances with the government, agencies, NGOs, and other stakeholders in the conservation sector. As a certified Environmental Assessment Practitioner by the Botswana Environmental Assessment Practitioners Association (BEAPA), I have successfully carried out a number of EIAs and EMPs projects. My work contributed significantly to long-term environmental protection solutions.
