World Wildlife Day is celebrated globally on the 3rd of March, and this year's theme is "listen to the young voices." We speak to Jimmiel Mandima from the African Wildlife Foundation (AWF), who joins us to discuss his organisation's efforts to  build schools in Africa that promote wildlife and environmental education, and also how and why the future of Africa's wildlife must be driven by Africans themselves.
