'The Rise of Female Rangers in Africa - Opportunities for Women & Wildlife' | Holly Budge
Holly will deliver a compelling keynote on the rise of female rangers in Africa. Holly has seen first-hand the significant ripple effect of investing in women and that bringing gender equity into the ranger workforce is strengthening community conservation efforts and relationships, with women being natural communicators, educators and investing their earned income in their families. Many of the inspirational female rangers Holly works with through her NGO 'How Many Elephants' and 'World Female Ranger Week', have overcome adversity, poverty and marginalisation. Becoming rangers has empowered them, creating opportunities and hope. Holly's talk covers many relevant themes, including gender equity in conservation, female empowerment, sustainable tourism and climate change.
