Champions of Nature - Why Every Country Counts

When you think about wildlife conservation, you might picture vast African savannas or dense Amazonian forests. However, a recent study by Oxford’s Wildlife Conservation Research Unit and Panthera reveals a surprising twist: poorer nations, often with their own economic challenges, are outpacing wealthier countries in efforts to protect our planet’s wildlife. This raises important questions about global responsibilities and the ethical dimensions of conservation. Why should affluent countries step up their game? Because wildlife conservation is not just about saving animals; it's about preserving ecosystems that benefit all of earth's inhabitants, including humans.
