A NEW CHAPTER FOR CONSERVATION LEADERSHIP

At ACCB 2026, the Nigerian Youth Biodiversity Network (NYBN) and the Society for Conservation Biology (SCB-Nigeria chapter) signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to launch the National Graduate Mentorship Program, connecting emerging conservation professionals with experienced mentors.

🎓Build skills, networks, and careers.

🌱 Share knowledge and shape future biodiversity leaders.

This is more than a mentorship programme. It is an investment in the people who will shape the future of biodiversity conservation in Nigeria and Africa.

🚀 The next step is yours. We'll announce mentor and mentee registration details soon.

Watch this space and join the movement. The future of conservation leadership starts with connection, creating pathways for mentorship, knowledge exchange, career development, research capacity, and conservation leadership.

FUN FACT!

Marine Protected Areas give fish populations the chance to recover and thrive.

When parts of the ocean are protected, fish can breed, grow larger, and restore balance to marine ecosystems.

The result? Healthier oceans, stronger biodiversity, and more sustainable livelihoods for people.

Nature has an amazing ability to recover when we give it the chance.

🎥 Watch, learn, and share!

🤝🌍 Strengthening meaningful youth involvement in NBSAPs implementation across Africa!

We are excited to announce the formalization of a new partnership between the Nigerian Youth Biodiversity Network (NYBN) and the Kijani Resilience/ GLFx Nairobi Chapter, Kenya, following the signing of a project partnership Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) at the Global Landscapes Forum (GLF) Africa youth conference 2026 in Nairobi.

This milestone marks the beginning of a new journey in our shared commitment to advancing meaningful youth inclusion in biodiversity governance, beyond being mere conservation beneficiaries. The African Youth in NBSAPs project is aimed at empowering African youth as drivers of NBSAPs implementation (including monitoring and tracking), towards the actualisation of the UNCBD Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework in Africa.

Through this collaboration, we look forward to co-creating impactful initiatives, strengthening cross-border learning, amplifying youth voices, and driving community-led solutions for nature and people.

At NYBN, we believe that the future of conservation lies in collaboration that transforms strategy into action and meaningful, practical, on-the-ground youth-led NBSAPs projects.

We celebrate this achievement and thank the Kijani Resilience/ GLFx Nairobi Chapter for their shared vision and commitment to a youth-driven future.

📢 The Nigerian Youth Biodiversity Network is open to more strategic partnerships and institutional arrangements that can support our project implementation objectives. We are open to collaborating with organizations, financial institutions, donors, and development partners interested in contributing to the implementation of NBSAPs in Africa.

Together, we can elevate the voice of young people within the global conservation agenda and create lasting change across the African continent.

The future of conservation is collaborative. The future is youth-led.

Coral reefs cover less than 1% of the ocean floor, yet they support about 25% of all marine life! Often called the "rainforests of the sea," coral reefs provide food, shelter, and breeding grounds for thousands of species, making them some of the most important ecosystems on Earth.

But these underwater treasures are under increasing pressure from climate change, pollution, and unsustainable human activities.
Protecting coral reefs means protecting marine biodiversity, supporting coastal communities, and safeguarding the health of our oceans for future generations.

🎥 Watch this quick fun fact and discover why coral reefs matter more than you might think!
