Conservationist and TED Fellow Moreangels Mbizah studied the famous Cecil the lion until he was shot by a trophy hunter in 2015. She wonders how things could’ve gone differently, asking: “What if the community that lived next to Cecil was involved in protecting him?” In a quick talk, Mbizah shares the state of conservation in her home of Zimbabwe — and why she thinks that communities living with wildlife are the ones best positioned to help them.

Didn’t the trophy Hunter that shot Cecil pay over $50,000 USD to kill the lion? Apparently the conservationists in your community agreed that the money would benefit the conservation efforts there. They weighed the value of one lions life against the value of the $50,000 to be used for other efforts? I’m genuinely curious if people think about this.. you have to think about the issue from both sides in order to understand it fully.

Listen lady, communism is never the answer
Thank you for all you do.
I think this is type of conservation is key, wherever you live, and whatever type of conservation needs implementing.
Having travelled/worked all over the uk, I was always astounded by the fact that soooo many people didn’t know their own area, or give it any priority or interest in their life. I agree, that encouraging local people to be interested in their own area’s wildlife and landscape, can make a very big difference in the long run.
I look up to the Kakanika Brothers from the Okavango Deltaπ€π€π€π€

I’ve always thought Africa should let poachers know these animals bring in huge amounts of tourists and money so why not train the poachers to actually watch over the animals and pay them a livable wage since it seems like a lot of poachers do it out of desperation

Hi
2nd lol
This video goes up right as the Team Trees’ videos comes. Nice timing.
Dear Moreangels, Too little too late….all officials are on the take and the animals are finished. Life’s tragedy is that we get old too soon and wise too late. …Rgds Lessbullshit.
Thank you for a well balanced lecture ,trophy hunters are a cancer in any society to shoot and kill them would be more beneficial to any society we live in .
I am very sad the beautiful lion’s death, I am teared, human are the dangerous animal on earth, thank you for your effort
Wonderful
Looks like TED has given up the onslaught of SJW crap and has been releasing a number of "normal" videos. Nice change.

As long as laziness is not a thing π¬ I believe it can be done π
You say community led, but your still preaching Agenda 21 and taking property rights from Americans.
I am 123rd lol
Be thankful for all the struggles you go through. They make you stronger, wiser and humble. Don’t let it break you. Let it make you.
I had the opportunity to meet and learn from Mrs. Moreangels Mbizah at the African Leadership University, she is truly an amazing and wise person.
Keep going on brave warrior of the nature and balance in general. Just keep going ahead.
Save wildlife? They die anyway, you mean keep them perpetuating, which is immoral.
Hello! I’m interested in the IguVerse project and I think that it would be great if you could collaborate! They are making a gaming project where people will share 1 percent (or more!) of their in-game income with animal welfare organizations. I think that they could be great help to you!

Amaaaaazing storyβ€π’
The fact that those trophy hunters and poachers seeing this video makes them not care. It’s really sad to see that the society do horrible things like this today. Even if this video is shown only a few parts of the community will just show affection. The fact that they have brains and they just keep doing is an eyesore.
She is passionate about this! ! That was moving

I love your efforts,it makes me think about it all day.
Such a beautiful and eloquent talk <3

Communities closest to wildlife are best positioned to make a difference. No amount of outside intervention will work. All must be conservationists in your local communities. #TEDTalk https://twitter.com/tedstalkin
There must be an international platform and Law all over the world there are hunters and organizations that make money on all animals including Whales Snakes and Birds everthing that breathes. I shall be very nice for the world that you Moreangels Mbizah be the woman who make this World Platform. There is a G7 and a G8 topics such as the envitonment there should also be a G10 for everthing that lives from Wildlife Animals to Pisces and everthing that lives in nature
1st yebooooy

May we all stand up for wildlife and the environment π
The public is the biggest force in change. Billions of ideas have more force then the best ideas. How do we produce the best ideas to be followed by the most.
