在他的本土納米比亞, John Kasaona發明了一種創新的方法來保護面臨決種危機的動物: 給與鄰近的村民(包括盜獵者)保護牠們的責任.  而且這個方法是可行的.

John Kasaona: 從盜獵者轉變為管理者

Giving local communities ownership over their land and wildlife sparked a dramatic turnaround in Namibia’s conservation story. Where once lions and black rhinos nearly vanished, numbers have soared as former poachers became game guards. By blending ancient Himba traditions with new tools like GPS and partnering with business and conservation groups, villagers built an economy rooted in respect for nature. The result: over 13 million hectares now thrive under community-led protection, showcasing a model for the world.
