Once rarely seen and almost extinct, the Niger Delta Red colobus enjoys maximum protection in the Apoi Community Conservation Area. There's a sneaky feeling they now enjoy their photos taken by our monitoring team. #ConservationWorks #ConserveNow
Thinking our recruitment data (of applicants with college education🧑🏿🎓& that are female♀️) might give indices of how our work is perceived by host communities e.g. in Ise-Ekiti: Year 1: 4.1% 🧑🏿🎓2%♀️ Year 2: 23.5% 🧑🏿🎓 5.8 5.8% ♀️ Year 3: 81.3% 🧑🏿🎓 18.8% ♀️ #conservationisworking
How do you know a conservation program is working? When you can take a photo of an ungulate with your mobile phone in an area with a fairly recent history of heavy hunting. Photo: A female bushbuck in Ise Forest Conservation Area. #conwervationworks #ekitistate #Nigeria
In our March Editorial, Oklander et al. discuss the plight of primates worldwide and how locally-led, collaborative conservation is key to supporting the next generation of #primate conservationists and securing the future of our closest living relatives: doi.org/mpcp
POV: our rangers on patrol. In this part of the world, forest and wildlife protection invariably equates to making an area unsuitable for kidnapping and banditry. Let us consider protecting more places for people and wildlife. Our condolences to the Governor & people of #Ekiti
HAPPENING NOW: 4-day workshop with the leaders of Apoi community where they learn everything conservation mgt from strategic planning, implementation, SWOT analysis, M&E, financial knowledge etc. It's not enough that a PA is community-based, it should be community-driven.
The 26th of January was #worldenvironmentaleducationday, we didn't want to miss the opportunity to celebrate our educators - Seun Adejuwon, Adeola Adebayo, Erepawei David & Ibrahim Musa - they work tirelessly to bring awareness to wildlife conservation around our project sites.
FROM GUNS TO LENS: While we are saving wildlife, human lives are being transformed. Hunters become guardians of the same species they once hunted. More than that, they also become enlightened, equipped & empowered to better serve their communities and humanity. #conservationworks
One million of the world’s estimated 8 million species are threatened with extinction. But all hope is not lost. Here are 6 threatened mammals, reptiles and birds moving away from the brink of extinction thanks to #GenerationRestoration action. unep.org/news-and-stori…
The Taï chimpanzees have lost their greatest champion. Christophe Boesch, founder of the @TaiChimpProject and Wild Chimpanzee Foundation, has passed away, age 72. His dedication to the science and protection of chimpanzees is an inspiration to all of us. He will be hugely missed.
From the classroom to the fields: across our project sites, we are putting in the work to raise a new generation who will not only internalize the values of conservation but will start now to demand that forests and wildlife protection is no lesser priority than their education.
Catch glimpses from a workshop we facilitated to help Ise community understand the crucial role of communal law in biodiversity conservation. We on the road to increasing community involvement and participation in the conservation management processes 100% #communitydriven
@AskPHPeople It is actually a whale shark not a catfish! Such a pity it has been killed, they are highly endangered! When will Nigeria get serious about establishing Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) to protect our rich marine life living along Nigeria's coastal shelf? @FMEnvng @NigeriaParks
Last year, we trained 20 teachers in Ise/Orun LGA in a workshop tagged 'moulding teachers for conservation. As we gear up for another workshop in the coming weeks to train another set of 30 teachers, we are encouraged by the positive feedback from both students and teachers.
#TGIF Join our senior prog. Officer leading our conservation outreach and education efforts for another insightful and engaging episode of conservation and you. Today, we will be discussing 'community participation in biodiversity conservation'. Thanks to all of our partners

When we set out to protect the Niger Delta red colobus monkey just over 2 years ago, we probably didn't anticipate the speedy recovery of all species in the area. The Apoi people are the heroes in this conservation story. #6Daystogo #WorldEpieniDay #2yearsAnniversary

Forests are vital for human survival but have been hit hard by human activity. Every year, approximately 12 million hectares of forest are destroyed. Here’s how UNEP supports the protection & sustainable management of forests: bit.ly/3JGpopV #GenerationRestoration
