A conversation with Prudence Galega
In this podcast, we speak with Prudence Tangham Galega about women’s role in conservation, and her advocacy for over a decade in protecting women’s rights to benefit equally from nature.
As Cameroon's National Focal Point for the UN Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) and coordinator for the Africa region in the CBD negotiations, she gives us an insider’s view on the consideration of gender equality in the negotiation of a new global framework for biodiversity. Prudence, in her insights, draws substantively from her long standing experience in global and national environmental policy-making, including as a Policy Advisor and Permanent Secretary of the Ministry of Environment, Cameroon.
If you’d like to learn more about why gender matters for biodiversity conservation, and how to support gender equality in conservation policy and practice, check out the IIED/UCL policy brief on ‘Why gender matters for biodiversity conservation’.
