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.

Maliasili exists to help talented local conservation organizations overcome their challenges and constraints so that they can become more effective agents of change in their landscapes, communities, and nations.
