Marlice van Vuuren & //Uce Cindy Ao - Live in harmony with the animals - Minute Moment Interview

Описание: Marlice is co-Founder of N/a'an ku sê Foundation, Namibia and one of Namibia's most well-known conservationists. She has dedicated her life to the rehabilitation of wildlife impacted by human activity, as well as the conservation of Namibia's dwindling San culture. The non-profit N/a'an ku sê Foundation is committed to the preservation of Namibia's wildlife, landscapes and cultures, with a focus on mitigating human-wildlife conflict.


//Uce attended the 2019 World Youth Wildlife Summit as a delegate. She grew up on a farm close to Grootfontein in Namibia’s north-east where she learned to ride at a young age, and her handling of these animals is second-to-none. //Uce proved to be the perfect addition to the N/a'an ku sê family after joining in 2018, receiving tour guide training, and then becoming an irreplaceable part of the equine team.

The Summit brought together more than 165 youth, 20 adult chaperones (educators and community leaders), 35 conservation role models and 5 keynote speakers from the 21st – 24th September, to engage, empower, educate and equip the youth to become Ambassadors for Conservation and influencers to reduce wildlife crime.


The intensive four-day program, organised by Project Rhino, African Conservation Trust and the Kingsley Holgate Foundation was held at the Southern African Wildlife College. The delegates were challenged during many hours of discussion and debate regarding the responsible use of wildlife resources, strategies for demand reduction, the link between poverty and poaching, habitat loss, and the role of education and awareness.


The conservation role models, and keynote speakers gave freely of their time to impart knowledge, answer questions and even provide career guidance, further motivating the youth to explore opportunities within the biodiversity economy.
