Conservationist and TED Fellow Moreangels Mbizah studied the famous Cecil the lion until he was shot by a trophy hunter in 2015. She wonders how things could've gone differently, asking: "What if the community that lived next to Cecil was involved in protecting him?" In a quick talk, Mbizah shares the state of conservation in her home of Zimbabwe — and why she thinks that communities living with wildlife are the ones best positioned to help them.

Protect indigenous Europeans from replacement in their natural habitat. (Use government statistic predictions if you’re unaware)
There’s something really wrong the way that Humanity carry’s it self????. At this point in humanity.. we should be pass this BARBARISM. I don’t see this spices ending well..
You say community led, but your still preaching Agenda 21 and taking property rights from Americans.
You have to make the value of a live lion greater to that community, than that of a dead one. And that is where armchair “conservationists” do more damage than good. Selling hunts to destroy animals past breeding age, who are a threat to their own species, is an absolute win for the community, and the species.
I think this is type of conservation is key, wherever you live, and whatever type of conservation needs implementing.
Having travelled/worked all over the uk, I was always astounded by the fact that soooo many people didn’t know their own area, or give it any priority or interest in their life. I agree, that encouraging local people to be interested in their own area’s wildlife and landscape, can make a very big difference in the long run.
Dear Moreangels, Too little too late….all officials are on the take and the animals are finished. Life’s tragedy is that we get old too soon and wise too late. …Rgds Lessbullshit.
Such a beautiful and eloquent talk <3
