YALI Voices Podcast: Shaban Senyange Highlights Benefits of Wildlife Conservation in Uganda
The biggest problem that we have facing the environment right now in conservation is the fact that people think someone else will come and save the environment for you.

Shaban Senyange, 2018 Fellowship Alumnus, Uganda
From filming in front of television cameras to planting seeds in Uganda’s soil, 2018 Fellowship Alumnus Shaban Senyange spotlights the mutual benefits of wildlife conservation.
