“We are very happy with your approach. Since Voice of Nature (VoNat) came here in 2021, you have educated our youth. Many of them are now teaching some of us about amphibians.

That is the approach we truly value,” said Njoume Ebehezert Theophile, Chief of Ntolo Village and Deputy Mayor of Ebone Council, during a workshop for the participatory mapping of conservation solutions for the Goliath frog.
