Colorado State University and Pride Lion Conservation Alliance are thrilled to have co-hosted Pathways Africa 2020: Human Dimensions of Wildlife conference and training! For the 2020 conference and training, we examined the costs of excluding diverse voices in our decision-making teams and conservation programs and the benefits we gain by their inclusion. Our 2020 theme, “Open the Door to Diverse Voices” hoped to provide a closer examination of how balanced leadership teams, effective collaborations, and diverse voices improve conservation impacts. We also considered the individual and organizational change required to create an environment for innovative, long lasting solutions to address the complex crises of biodiversity loss and climate change and their impacts across Africa. We invite your perspectives on this critical topic in the comments below.
