The BCC is an inspiring, powerful annual gathering of top African CEOs, Heads of State, global technologists, investors, philanthropists, entrepreneurs, students and innovative conservationists to find practical, sustainable ways of powering economic growth in Africa through wildlife conservation.
It is not a meeting about conservation for conservation’s sake. It instead provides a practical ‘how to’ guide for African economic development through conservation. It is a gathering to discuss ways of investing in wildlife and its habitat so that African people can derive economic and cultural value from it. Ultimately, BCC helps catalyze an abundant future for one of Africa’s greatest untapped sources of wealth.
The Business of Conservation Conference convened by the African Leadership University School of Wildlife Conservation, in partnership with the Rwanda Development Board (RDB), convenes influential leaders to collaborate in tangible ways that promote Africa’s wildlife economy and catalyze economic development.
