More opportunities for young Mozambicans to build skills in nature conservation and a stronger focus on Environmental Education mark the new phase of the Leadership Program for Conservation in Mozambique (PLCM), presented at the 9th Steering Committee session held on November 27 in Maputo.
Osbone Maquival, a young graduate in mathematical sciences and an intern in the 7th edition of the Leadership Program for Conservation of Mozambique (PLCM), is an inspiring example of how Mozambican youth are transforming challenges into concrete solutions for climate action. Funded by the Embassy of Sweden and the World Bank and implemented by the Foundation for the Conservation of Biodiversity (BIOFUND), PLCM offers recent graduates an immersive experience in the conservation sector, promoting technical skills, community leadership, and environmental innovation.
When looking back on her journey, Sofia Nhalungo is categorical: “I have the privilege of currently working and feeling like a conservation biologist… and it’s all partly thanks to PLCM, which was the starting point of my career.” This statement sums up the impact of a program that transforms young graduates and mid-level technicians into professionals with a voice and a place in the most relevant conservation institutions in Mozambique.
