For more than 26 years, our Accredited Bird Guide (ABG) Training Programme has empowered individuals—many from communities situated in areas of high conservation value—with the skills, knowledge, and confidence needed to pursue careers in nature guiding, with a specialised focus on bird guiding. To date, over 250 individuals have completed the programme, with at least 51 graduates securing permanent employment in the conservation, tourism, and environmental education sectors. Many others have leveraged the skills and experience gained through the programme to advance into a variety of professional fields.
