Conference Agenda Structure

As the organizer of the Wildlife Conservation in Africa conference, African Symposium has partnered with conservationists, non-profits, thought leaders, and activists to discuss key conservation topics and foster lively debate on current and future action.

This annual event aims to encourage political and cultural advocacy that is inclusive of local communities at the forefront of conservation efforts and supports grassroots action to protect biodiversity and safeguard endangered species while protecting local livelihoods.

Each year, the forum selects a topic of focus and showcases conservation efforts centered on a particular species and work by artists that highlight a particular animal.
