Hear the heartfelt promise made by a Conservation Warrior Patrick-a new training and mentorship program co-created this summer in the highly underserved region of Southern Madagascar.
The roundtable I co-led showcased the my Conservation Masterminds mentorship program—an honest, moving exchange of stories, challenges, and wisdom.
Themes of resilience, health, and female empowerment emerged, reminding us why local voices and community-rooted conservation are vital. Audience members called it one of the most powerful sessions of the week, with many asking how to join the 2026 cohort.
Conservation Masterminds—rising leaders from biodiversity-rich nations—are driving science, advocacy, and policy for global impact. In Antananarivo, Madagascar, I led a workshop on soft power, influence, and problem-solving—skills vital to protecting wildlife and shaping conservation’s future.
