Technology cannot work by itself, it needs a conservationist. We need to create awareness, starting with our young generation, so that they embrace and appreciate conservation [...] it's a collective responsibility. (Masai Joseph, Principal HR Officer, Amboseli National Park, Kenya)

• A perspective of stepping back and assessing how certain technology is beneficial to us in conservation (Collins Busuru, CEO at Kang4Nature; from 55:50)

We need to have a shift in our mindset. Most of the technology we use in conservation comes from other areas. We need to pull in more engineers, creators, and anyone who can help us create cutting-edge technology (Collins Busuru, CEO at Kang4Nature)

Share Your Unique Perspective: Don't be afraid to bring your unique perspective and experiences to the table. Diverse viewpoints enrich the community and can lead to innovative solutions (Temitope Adelola, FAO, Nigeria and WildHub Conservation Catalyst)

"Bringing your own perspective leads to the innovation. The best innovators I know will share their perspectives with others. (Gal Zanir; 1:02:00)" 

"Whatever you do, how ever little the thing, continue with what you are doing. Like planting a tree, it may seem small, but can have big impact. Kenya has many beautiful places, but we lose these places if we do not take our responsibility." (Masai Joseph: 1:04:00)

It is your little big thing that is able to change the world

Happy world Wildlife Day!"
