The Wildlife Society of Nigeria (WISON) has honoured four Nigerians for their work in environmental governance, conservation finance, protected-area management, and community-based tourism at its 8th Annual Conference in Abuja. The conference, themed 'Human-Wildlife Interactions and Sustainable Protected Area Management,' was hosted by the Nigeria National Park Service in collaboration with WISON, with support from 7Up Bottling Company of Nigeria. It brought together wildlife professionals, government representatives, scientists, and civil society organisations to address conservation challenges. NPS Conservator-General Dr Ibrahim Goni stressed that protected areas cannot be managed in isolation from local communities.
