Resson will lead Maliasili’s efforts to help our partners increase their influence in the conservation space, with a significant focus on increasing the amount of funding going to grassroots organizations driving community conservation solutions. She’s a leader in the community conservation space when it comes to tackling challenging topics in our field, such as colonialism, racism, power, and inequality (with a great TED talk and opinion piece). Resson joins us after having served as the Deputy Director of Ewaso Lions, a Kenyan NGO, and she is a member of our second African Conservation Leadership program cohort.
