PLCM Seeks Partnerships at Business of Conservation Conference, Kigali 2019

BIOFUND, through the Mozambique Conservation Leadership Program (PLCM) will participates from 8th  to 9th of September in Kigali – Rwanda in a Conference on Conservation Business with the theme “Environmental Investment – from scarcity to abundance”.

This conference will bring together around 300 participants from around the world, including, CEOs, political leaders, investors, entrepreneurs, innovative conservationists, including a new generation of young leaders to analyze how to ensure economic growth for nature conservation.

The Conservation Business Conference (BCC) aims to catalyze economic development in Africa by bringing together influential leaders to collaborate tangibly around one of Africa’s competitive advantages – its unique biodiversity.

According to the organization of the event, this year’s edition will seek to raise some questions, namely:

  • What would it take to make conservation a ‘growth’ industry in Africa?
  • What conditions would enable us to move our wildlife and habitat from scarcity to abundance?
  • How could nature be one of the key drivers of Africa’s development trajectory–instead of a casualty of development?
  • How can conservation attract a greater percentage of African and Global environmental investments?

BIOFUND’s participation in the event will be an occasion to broaden its network of partners and funding for its programs, in particular for its Conservation Leadership Program – PLCM.
