The Global Conservation Tech & Drone Forum (GCTDF 2026) has announced the inclusion of the Women in Conservation Forum (WiCF), to be held on Monday, 2nd March 2026 in Nairobi.
This initiative, backed by key government and conservation partners including Kenya Wildlife Service (KWS) and Action Labs, and funding sponsors – The Wildlife Society and Island Foundation, underscores the Forum’s commitment to amplifying the indispensable role women play in conservation across Kenya and Africa.
In Kenya and throughout the continent, women are at the forefront as community conservancy leaders, wildlife rangers, researchers, and advocates. Their unique perspectives are critical for effective, inclusive conservation outcomes.
The WiCF is designed to honor this contribution by creating a focused space for women practitioners, policymakers, researchers, private-sector leaders, and global partners to connect.
