    Why trophy hunting helps protect animals

    Dan, Johnny, Marina Lamprecht

    Proponents of regulated trophy hunting in Namibia and Zimbabwe argue that the industry generates tens of millions of dollars annually to fund conservation, support over 770,000 households, and prevent wildlife extinction in areas where photo tourism is unviable. By retaining local control over land use and enforcing strict government quotas, these regions report significant rebounds in species such as the white rhino and lion while funding essential community projects like school meals. Conversely, critics warn that corruption in poorly governed nations often diverts revenue, leading some conservationists to call for international funding models that protect habitats without relying on controversial hunting practices.

    Talks at GS – The #FindMike Campaign: Rethinking Mental Health

    Jonny Benjamin, Neil Laybourn, Johnny, Tanya Cushman

    Johnny, a young man struggling with severe mental illness and suicidal ideation, was rescued in 2008 by stranger Neil after an intervention on London's Waterloo Bridge that led to six years of separation. Johnny's viral "Find My Neil" campaign eventually reconnected the two men, sparking a global partnership dedicated to dismantling mental health stigmas in schools, prisons, and workplaces across multiple continents. Their collaborative advocacy emphasizes the critical importance of early conversation, practical workplace accommodations, and the power of dialogue in preventing suicide and supporting recovery.
