CONSERVATION CAREER ADVICE
As conservationists who have been involved in many aspects of conservation, what advice would you give young people who are interested in conservation as a career?
“It is not a career for job seekers. Conservation is a challenging yet rewarding career to those with passion for it. It requires work in remote or rural areas where transport, communication, and social amenities are often a problem. It is a career for those with a heart and passion for conserving natural resources for the benefit of current and future generations.”
Pumulo Nyambe, Area Warden of NLAMU
“Conservation is about team work, trust and creating an environment where multiple departments and stakeholders need to come together. This article unveils just a few of our leaders: it’s exciting to know that there are many more of them, at many levels, coming through the ranks all the time. With key individuals like these, the future is bright for North Luangwa.”
Ed Sayer, Country Director FZS Zambia and Programme Manager
