Meet Our Conservationists In The Making 

"I am in a University where learning is hinged on developing personal Missions and not just following Majors. The School of Wildlife Conservation program has inspired and created in me a resilient and more environmentally conscious mindset and I am more aware of the impact we have on our planet. This made me structure my Mission plan in a smart, Innovative and environmental friendly way." 

Christian Mugabe Rwanda Global Challenges, Year 3  

"The school gives me opportunities to discover, learn and practice what I love, but also to meet conservation experts who help me grow each time a little more. With each conservationist in residence, I can get an idea of the different careers that exist in conservation as well as their requirements; and determine which path to choose. I stay in touch with the experts that related the most to my journey and they continue to help me shape a clear vision of what I will do later. I would probably never have met then if not here."
