As the world's population grows, the tension between man and nature continues to increase. In addition, the Covid-19 crisis has created significant new challenges for conservationists and a wide range of related organizations.

This special World Chimpanzee Day edition of ESGX will explore how we can best re-think our relationship with nature.

We will open with a special welcoming address by Jane Goodall DBE, Founder of the Jane Goodall Institute and UN Messenger of Peace, marking the 60th anniversary of her first arrival in what is now Gombe Stream National Park, Tanzania.

This will be followed by Kaddu Kiwe Sebunya, CEO of African Wildlife Foundation, in conversation with Cassandra Kelly.

Our event will conclude with a discussion and audience Q&A with our diverse group of panelists:

Shivani Bhalla, Ewaso Lions
Shifra Goldenberg, San Diego Zoo Global
Ami Vitale, National Geographic
Andrea Athanas, African Wildlife Foundation
Shawn Sugarman, Elephant Cooperation

We will discuss the following questions:

How are frictions between people and wildlife growing?
Did this contribute to the COVID-19 pandemic?
How has funding been impacted?
How can we best support wildlife organizations and educators?
