Joseph Mwakima works for Wildlife Works at Kenya’s Tsavo Conservation area, a 500,000 acre dryland forest, home to 300 species of birds and 50 species of large mammals. The local people suffer from food insecurity worsened by climate change but Joseph teaches them to protect their forest. Many are illiterate so he uses films, plays, workshops and football matches that include discussions about conservation.
