“You're seeing young men going to prison or getting buried in the ground because they're out there poaching rhinos. And, it just drove a bigger wedge between conservation efforts and the communities. There's only so many times you can look into the eyes of a woman who's lost a brother or a husband or a father or an uncle and expect that we're going to have some sort of relationship with that community.  It was the same as Iraq, you've got an occupying force there, which is what we were as a conservation body, and there were no hearts and minds. So, we started doing a lot of research into, what was the most effective tool in community development in Africa. And what we found was an overwhelming body of evidence that said empowering women was the single greatest force for positive change, not only in Africa but across the world.” - Damien Mander     Damien Mander is the founder and CEO of Akashinga, an organization that is changing everything we ever thought we knew about how conservation works. Formerly known as the International Anti-Poaching Foundation (IAPF), Akashinga is a nature conservation organization that creates resilient ecosystems where nature, wildlife and communities will thrive together for years to come.   Akashinga Rangers are Africa's first plant-based all women anti-poaching unit, and they are revolutionizing the ways that animals are protected, the communities are supported and that wilderness landscapes are restored and safeguarded.   Damien is an Iraq war veteran who served as a Naval clearance diver and special operations sniper for the Australian Defense Force. In 2009 he founded the IAPF which later became Akashinga.   Damien is the winner of the 2019 Winsome Constance Kindness Gold Medal. He was featured in the James Cameron documentaries “The Game Changers” and National Geographic's “Akashinga – The Brave One's'” about his work with the women of Akashinga.    LINKS:  AKASHINGA.org https://www.instagram.com/weareakashinga/ https://twitter.com/weareakashinga https://www.facebook.com/weareakashinga

You would never initially think that women would make some of the best game wardens in all of Africa and lead to complete social reform within the community! There is a lot to learn here, and today we're going to dive head first into a world of social entrepreneurship with Damien Mander. Damien is an Iraq war veteran who served as a Naval clearance diver and special operations sniper for the Australian Defense Force. It was during his service, traveling through Africa, that he was inspired by the work of rangers as they defended the wildlife. The International Anti-Poaching Foundation (IAPF) was born soon after, to be the ‘last line of defense for nature.' Since it started, the IAPF has trained and supported rangers resulting in the protection of over 4 million hectares of African wilderness! In 2017 IAPF founded ‘Akashinga (The Brave Ones) – Nature Protected by Women', a program that has enabled the only group of nature reserves in the world to be protected by women. After giving women the opportunity to serve, the impact they've had on the community around them not only benefited the social structure, but even the economic structure. Let's jump right into Damien's incredible journey and learn a new model to defend nature and community - empowering women. [00:01 - 6:36] Opening Segment I introduce Damien Mander A reminder of the 5 characteristics of innovators' recipe Damien' s approach to tackling an issue Getting started and gaining momentum is the most important thing You can't steer a stationary ship The importance of having a team around you to disagree with you Pushing through even without confidence or comfort Feeling most comfortable outside of your comfort zone [06:37 - 23:40] Jumping into the Middle of the Problem Damien talks about how he started into solving the issue he saw “I need to see it for myself” Jumping into the problem instead of waiting for it to come to you Starting without a plan and figuring out the direction after Filling the void in the world of conservation Rapid militarization within the industry The targeting of elephants and rhinos Employing a short term solution first The community needs to be involved for long term change I share the parallels to the Hero's Journey Damien talks about getting to the heart of the real issues - Peeling the onion Not analyzing but ‘eating your way through the onion' From almost giving up to learning to scale the organization It's the pressure that pushes you to find a better solution Positivity is just around the corner from a hardship The project of 2017 [23:41 - 56:03] The New Model to Defend Nature & Community: Empower Women Seeing the need and benefit of getting more women on the front lines Getting left behind by industries using women on the front An answer to the short term, ‘good guys with the gun' mentality Why aren't women given the opportunity? Turning examples of other industries into a working model There is no need to reinvent the wheel Fit your narrative into a model - test and adjust Fighting through the criticism Rebuilding the organization to fit the model There is a value to having critics Dealing with conservation from a social issue standpoint Getting the opposition to see the long term value of preserving wildlife Community development through women empowerment Why women at the forefront? It changes the dynamics of society for the better Not even a single case of corruption The impact on strategic national parks Finding an economic alternative to trophy hunting Wildlife hunting: an equation to be solved A breakdown of the economics behind conservation Best gains are made from the social side The challenge having to solve the largest issues with the least funding How women help de-escalate tension Investing in education and job creation A look into the health care Including stakeholders A word about the Conspiracy of Goodness Summit [56:04 - 1:08:59] Making Things Better from the Inside Out Damien shares the effects at the local level 80% downturn in poaching 400% increase in wildlife in the region A community-wide respect for women Impacting the community on an economic and personal level Giving women a chance Building up the society through women Damien reflects on what he's learned on his journey Giving up the ‘boys club' mentality There need to be a better way to protect the planet Giving up a selfish lifestyle [1:09:00 - 1:19:25] Closing Segment Damien talks about what he needs to take this initiative forward Everything is in place It all just needs funding The growth so far More than just conservation This is to change the world Giving others a model to use Providing opportunities to women How to support and connect with Damien Links below Final announcements Tweetable Quotes: “We know how to manage most challenges, and if we don't - we have a team that will find a solution.

In 2009, after a trip to Africa, Damien liquidated his life saving to found the International Anti-Poaching Foundation, which now protects over 20 million acres of African wilderness. We talk about what led Damien to the military as a young man, what he learned from his time in Iraq, when he decided to stop exploiting and start protecting animals, why he founded the IAPF and what they've done over the past decade, why he formed the first ever all-women anti-poaching unit Akashinga, why empowering women is the greatest force for positive change in the world today, why removing animals from his diet was the best decision of his life, why real alpha males protect the vulnerable, and how you can support the IAPF.
