About the School of Wildlife Conservation
The School of Wildlife Conservation (SOWC) is the conservation initiative of the African Leadership Group. It was established in 2016 to promote conservation as an African growth sector by developing the next generation of entrepreneurial conservation leaders at all levels, through undergraduate, middle management, and executive programmes. In combining innovative research and leadership talent cultivation, SOWC encourages entrepreneurship within the wildlife economy and provides a platform for young entrepreneurs to incubate their innovative conservation business models. At a macro level, SOWC seeks to influence the sector’s decision-makers to adopt sustainable business models and promote an entrepreneurial business-minded approach in African conservation.
About the SOWC research programme
Our mission is to promote a growing, inclusive, sustainable wildlife economy in Africa
The aim of our research is to gather data and information to illustrate the value of wildlife to economies and through this to encourage investment in this important economic asset. The research process also highlights data gaps and we hope that it stimulates the collection of data related to wildlife economies in order to better understand the vast contribution of wildlife resources to local, national and regional economies.
