“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

On this new Wild For Change podcast episode, we will be speaking with Damien Mander, founder of the International Anti-Poaching Foundation.  Damien was a naval clearance diver and special operations sniper for the Australian Defense Force.  He completed 3 years of duty in Iraq.  While traveling through Africa, he was inspired by the work of game rangers.  He decided to liquidate all his assets to create the International Anti-Poaching Foundation (IAPF) in 2009.  The mission of IAPF is to deliver ecological stability and long-term protection of large-scale wilderness landscapes by supporting and empowering local communities.  In 2017, IAPF founded Africa's first armed, plant-based diet, all women anti-poaching unit called Akashinga – which means the Brave Ones.  This unit began with 16 women who came from the local community and were trained to protect nature reserves.  The goal is to employ 1,000 women protecting 20 nature reserves by 2025.  Now women have the opportunity as much as men to be on the frontlines protecting the wildlife.Key accomplishments made by IAPF:1.3 million acres have been protected by AkashingaThere has been an 80% reduction in poaching in the communities where IAPF serves.350% increase in wildlifeIn 2019, Damien received the Winsome Constance Kindness Gold Medal.  It is a prestigious award given to individuals who dedicate their lives to humanitarian and animal causes.  During this podcast, we learn from Damien:How women rangers are helping change the face of conservation Why looking after nature can provide us with a brighter futureWhat we can do to help improve the future for animals, ourselves, and our planet What IAPF's vision is for the next ten years

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. When we get given a challenge, it's almost like a blessing.” - Damien Mander “A great plan today is better than a perfect plan tomorrow… For me the most important thing is to start, and even more important than starting is not to stop - just to push through because it's never going to be easy.” - Damien Mander “Empowering women is the single greatest force for change in the world… Conservation became a byproduct of our social impact.” - Damien Mander Resources Mentioned: Websites: Damien Mander Ted Talk How to Fix a Broken School - Ted Talk Podcasts: Episode with Nate Robinson Books: Happiness is an Option The Hero's Journey Articles: Single Mothers are Saving Africa's Endangered Wildlife Connect with Damien on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter.

Today we speak to the incredible Damien Mander, Founder and CEO of the International Anti-Poaching Foundation. He has worked tirelessly to help preserve endangered animals, working with local African conservationists to help train them to protect our last remaining species of African wildlife. Damien is an Iraq war veteran who served as a Naval clearance diver and special operations sniper for the Australian Defense Force. In 2009 while travelling through Africa, he was inspired by the work of rangers and the plight of wildlife. Liquidating his life savings, the International Anti-Poaching Foundation was established to be the last line of defence for nature. Over the past decade the IAPF has scaled to train and support rangers which now help protect over 20 million acres of African wilderness. In 2017 Damien founded ‘Akashinga - Nature Protected by Women’, an IAPF program that has already grown to over 240 employees with 7 nature reserves in the portfolio. They are the only group of nature reserves in the world to be protected by women. Their goal is to employ 1000 women by 2025, protecting a network of 20 nature reserves. He is the winner of the 2019 Winsome Constance Kindness Gold Medal, a prestigious international recognition for services to animals and humanity. Past recipients include Sir David Attenborough and Dr Jane Goodall. He was featured in the newly released documentary The Game Changers from 6-time Oscar winning Director James Cameron, and has now released another documentary with James Cameron and National Geographic about his work with the women of Akashinga – “The Brave One’s”.. as you can imagine I was quite excited to get to speak to someone which such an incredible resume of doing good in the world. Today, Damien and I discuss our relationship to the natural world, the importance of protecting endangered species, how we can all help animals by switching to a plant based diet, and also the importance of supporting females in conservation

“If you're an alpha, why would you want to kill something that can't defend itself? Or even worse, why would you want to pay someone else to do that for you?”On this week's episode of the Eat Green Make Green Podcast I sit down with the legendary Damien Mander. Damien is a former special operations sniper for the Australian Defense Force who did 12  tours to Iraq in the years following September 11th. 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. Recently featured in James Cameron's Game Changers, Damien is truly making kindness and respect for all, badass.Show NotesDONATE! - International Anti-Poaching Foundation SiteMore on AkashingaIAPF InstagramDamien's InstagramDamien's TEDx TalkThe Game Changers Film

Nicholas Martin had a very important role in the Pong Su story, but it's one he's never talked publicly about until now.  Nicholas was a navy clearance diver who boarded the Pong Su with the SAS troops. After clearing the ship for improvised explosive devices, Nicholas took command of the bridge and working with one of the captured North Koreans steered the Pong Su back to Sydney Harbour. In this interview you'll also hear about what it's like to skipper a navy patrol boat in Australia's northern water at the age of 20, and what it takes to be a clearance diver.  The Last Voyage of the Pong Su is brought to you by the newsrooms of The Age & Sydney Morning Herald.A new episode of this 10-part series drops on Tuesdays.
