Cape Leopard Trust’s Post

The Cape Leopard Trust was fortunate to have one of our own participate in the recent Earthshot Prize Youth Leadership Programme: Africa. CLT Research & Conservation Field Officer Matthew Arendse joined climate youth leaders from across Africa and Asia in the youth leadership programme – four days of masterclasses, discussion panels, workshops and keynotes, all set against the backdrop of the Earthshot week of activities and events. The youth leaders had the opportunity to meet and interact with The Earthshot Prize 2024 finalists and attend the prestigious awards ceremony. Matthew was particularly inspired by the Earthshot Prize category ‘Protect and Restore Nature’. He hopes take the valuable lessons learned and connections made at the youth leadership programme into his work at the CLT and continue to play a part in the protection and restoration of the biodiversity of the Western Cape – home to the leopards of the Cape! #MotivationMonday #WhatIsYourEarthshot #ThisIsMyEarthShot #TheEarthShotPrize2024
