The world has lost a voice of compassion and courage. Dr. Jane Goodall’s life reminded us that protecting the earth is protecting our shared humanity. May we honour her legacy by continuing her fight — for the planet, its creatures, and future generations. 💚

The climate emergency is no longer a future threat — it’s our lived reality. Africa, although it is least responsible for global emissions, faces some of the harshest impacts.
I invite you to join me and PLAAS for a masterclass on the intertwined crises of climate and biodiversity — and the urgent, justice-rooted pathways toward collective resilience and transformative change.
Where are we in addressing the climate emergency in Africa and Globally
