Welcome to Wildlife Africa - Our Conservation Story

This is the story of our Conservation Work so far. In fact this is the beginning. If you feel inspired, Please Check out and explore the rest of our site and other stories.

Sometimes in April, 2016, while I was on my Master?s program at the Universidad Internacional De Andalusia (UNIA), Spain, on Wildlife Management and Conservation of Species, and I was at a critical decision period as to how I am going to use all the knowledge I am getting to impact on species conservation back at home in Nigeria; I remember asking one of my lecturers, ?Where do I begin from?? A Video emerged from the shores of Nigeria of a Sea Turtle taking and been sold on the streets of Lagos.

At that moment, it dawned on me that there is an Urgent need for Wildlife Education in Nigeria and reading through the comments on that particular post, I believed my question, where do I begin from was answered. So I discussed with colleagues and my lecturers in Spain, and before long I conceived and founded Wildlife Africa - a concept developed as ?A Special Wildlife Conservation, Research, Education and Rescue Initiative" with a Vision to create ?A Growing generation, knowledgeable and motivated to take positive actions on behalf of the ?Wildlife?? Plants and animals that share our land and sea with us and the environment?. Special mention must be made of my colleagues in the CITES Master's - Bintu Sia Foray Musa (Sierra Leone), James Oppong (Ghana), Mawdo Jallow (The Gambia), Trokon Grimms (Liberia), Jessica Stabile (USA); My Lecturers at UNIA- Helen Pierre (EU), Pamela Scruggs (USA); a friend and alumnus of UNIA Maribel Rodriguez (Belgium) and someone that came into my life and has turned out to be a great mentor - Anna Stamatiou (Greece); all whom I shared this dream with in the early stages and they made positive suggestions to shape the initiative into what it is today and they still do offer me guidance and advice.

On my return to Nigeria I sought out ordinary Nigerians that feel motivated to do something for Wildlife and the Environment to work with me. Right now, I have over 20 volunteers working with me, two University lecturers serving as advisors to us and a number of Local and international collaborators from Nigeria here, Germany, Greece, Italy, Botswana, Uganda, Sierra Leone, Ghana, The Gambia, Liberia, South Africa, United Kingdom, Switzerland, Israel, Turkey, New Zealand, Namibia, Belgium and the United States and the list is growing.

Learn more in the 'About Us' and you too can join us. You can also be a Volunteer and/or a Sponsor.

We aim to create a Platform where any Wildlife Enthusiasts with or without Wildlife or Conservation background who feel motivated to take positive actions for Wildlife of Africa can express themselves and their love for Nature. We have created several actions through which they can express themselves and if what they want to do for Wildlife and Nature is not on the list, we would help them find their calling. To me to work for Wildlife, to work for Nature, to work for the Environment is a vocation.

Founder, Wildlife Africa.
Wildlife Africa is a concept developed as ?A Special Wildlife Conservation, Research, Education and Rescue Initiative? with a Vision to create ?A Growing generation, knowledgeable and motivated to take positive actions on behalf of the ?Wildlife?? Plants and animals that share our land and sea with us and the environment?.

This we hope to achieve through partnerships with Educational Institutions, Conservation Centres, Research Institutions, NGOs, the private sector and cultural organizations; nationally, regionally and internationally; to promote appreciation and knowledge of African Fauna and Flora particularly to young people, providing them with educational experiences that will inspire a love of all living things while fostering sound environmental practices and resource management.

Our broad Methodology is to Develop, produce, publish, distribute and create educational experiences and resources of all kinds which may include (but are not limited to): Education Action (Formal and Informal), Conservation Excursion Action, Social Action, Environment Action, Agricultural Biodiversity action, Research Action, Nature Action, Wildlife Rescue Action etc. through Live Events, teaching aid, videos, posters, web-based information, Mobile applications and online interactive activities making use of all existing and future communication technologies.
