A lot of African wildlife is very big. If you're protecting the big stuff, you're usually protecting the small stuff, too.

Helping Africans navigate the transition to modernity with a huge, wonderful wildlife resource still intact.

A lot of African wildlife is very big. If you're protecting the big stuff, you're usually protecting the small stuff, too.

There's no space for wildlife; the humans are crowding them out.

These magnificent species of Africa - elephants, rhino, lions, leopards, cheetah, the great apes (Africa has four of the world's five great apes) - this is a treasure for all humanity, and they are not for sale. They are not for trade. They need to be valued and preserved by humanity. We all need a global commitment to that.

With good planning, Africa can have cities, farms, factories, export processing zones. But if the political will is there, the huge areas - the Serengeti, the Okavango, the Kalahari, Kruger - these wonderful, huge places for wildlife could still be set aside and protected, and be treasures for humanity for many generations to come.

In most of the world, we have only small remnants of the wildlife that once existed. Africa has the most astonishing wildlife still.
