Yale Blue Green invites you on a journey to Tanzania’s Rift Valley in this powerful 30-minute film by Hans Cosmas Ngoteya, focusing on endangered giraffes and the fragile ecosystems they share with the Maasai. A story of conservation, resilience, and coexistence.

Doors open at 5pm, opening remarks and screening begin at 5:30pm.

Following the screening there will be light refreshments and discussion with Dr. Laly Lichtenfeld (MFS ‘99, PhD ‘05), co-founder and CEO of African People & Wildlife. Dr. Lichtenfeld’s years at Yale sparked the passion and vision that led her to co-found African People & Wildlife, now internationally acclaimed for its groundbreaking, locally led approach to conservation in Tanzania. From reducing human-wildlife conflict to protecting endangered species and empowering rural communities, her work has reshaped how conservation is done in Africa. 

Space is limited. RSVP by February 23 to Molly Dodge, mdodge@africanpeoplewildlife.org.
