Why Africa Needs Community-Led Conservation | Resson Kantai Duff | TED
Conservation efforts in Africa have typically been led by “parachute conservationists” — outsiders who drop in thinking they have all the answers, hire locals to implement them and then disappear. But conservationist Resson Kantai Duff has a better way to save wildlife in Africa: let locals lead these efforts themselves. She calls for a major…

This whole intro sounds incredibly xenophobic. Do you want deforestation a la Brazil? Maybe the outsiders have some ideas you can learn from.

Hi everyone, how’re you doing? Are you feeling happy or sad today?
Keep your face always toward the sunshine, and shadows will fall behind you.
Just don’t give up trying to do what you really want to do.
All you need is the plan, the road map, and the courage to press on to your destination.

@Hakuna Matata Meh. Empathy but not much patience. I have enough empathy to understand the absurdity of presenting an African woman driving a car & texting as proving that “the impossible is possible”. Seems demeaning.

Part time volunteer governance.
Ensures both transparency, a higher level of honesty and a tethered connection to the average citizen that forces a level of equality between the working class and governments/elites.
Ending amnesty and closing the door for “double standards.”
As well as enabling the shifting of currency from the pockets of the controlling parties, back into the communities, where it can be distributed more equally into programs that generate a stronger economy, safer communities, better educations and conservation, as well as regeneration of clean and sanitary environments both within the cities, rural communities and forestry regions.
Controlled by the people, for the people

Now that the science, infrastructure and funding is secure and protected…the time has come for the “community” to take over?
Meanwhile…”communities” struggle with clean drinking water, sanitation and modern education to globally compete.

Good luck with that, Ted talks are just about “sounds nice “. Do you actually think the average struggling African is gonna struggle even more so you can woke speak? “Colonialism” grrrrr

This lecture was far to short and seemed too mainstream in its adoption of trouble shooting. Not hating the world we live in and would of liked to see a lot more in relation to culture and by-products of ancestors to modern day.
Not sure if what I said makes 100% sense and would of liked to see more.
