Osvaldo Antonio Lampião, Mozambique, Positive Tracks Next Gen | Undergraduate student majoring in Ecotourism and Wildlife Management at Manica Superior Polytechnic Institute, Chimoio. My goal is to become a professional with skills, abilities and attitudes that enable me to intervene with actions contributing to significant reduction of environmental impacts in conservation areas. I am studying Ecotourism and Wildlife Management, in order to enhance my knowledge and tools in multidisciplinary fields related to wildlife conservation, ecosystems management, environmental management and ecotourism.
I am inspired to participate in the 2015 Lost Mountain Conservation Symposium to consolidate the theoretical knowledge I have with the technical know-how and develop skills and competencies to be able to lead and coordinate activities successfully in various areas related to conservation and ecotourism. In addition, it is an opportunity to exchange experience with fellows from other countries in the world. I think that the Symposium will bring innovative solutions for environmental problems in Mozambique, as well the social and economic development of communities living in conservation areas.
What’s a Positive Tracks Next Gen? These are our Next Gen’s who are 23 and younger and are
therefor qualified to have their fundraising dollars matched by Positive Tracks— a national, youth-centric nonprofit that helps young people get active and give back using the power of sport and adventure. In 2015 Positive Tracks, together with our outdoor industry partners, will double every dollar Next Gen Symposium participants fundraise until we have $90,000 for innovative integrated conservation.
