Prince Williams
Prince Williams has honoured a Kenyan, Tom Lalampaa and Zimbabwe’s Clive Stockil in London for their works in enhancing co-habitation with wildlife.
CEOAFRICA.com gathered that the Kenyan runs an organisation that helps remote and sometimes feuding communities co-exist with wildlife in a 200,000 sq km (4.9m-acre) area, while Zimbabwe's Clive Stockil was also honoured with a lifetime achievement award for his work with rhinos.
One of the Tusk Conservation Awards judges described Mr Stockil as one of Africa's great conservation pioneers, who long before many others recognised how critical it is to engage local communities in the conservation of their natural heritage.
"Despite many setbacks, Clive Stockil has never waivered from his overall commitment to conservation," he said.
His career spans 40 years and in 1992 he helped create Zimbabwe's biggest private reserve in the Save Valley in the the south-east of the country, which is now home to one of the biggest rhino populations in Africa.
The lifetime Prince William Award for Conservation in Africa comes with a £30,000 ($47,000) grant.
