The Director General, Nigerian Conservation Foundation (NCF), Dr. Muhtari Aminu-Kano, has assured that the foundation would, in collaboration with its partners, provide maximum support, through funding, trainings and others to community-based organisations across Nigeria that show strong commitment in biodiversity conservation efforts.
Aminu-Kano made the pledge at the recent virtual inauguration of the Gashaka Biodiversity Support Initiative (GBSI), designed to enable the conservation of endangered organisms, including Vultures, in Gashaka Kingdom, Taraba State.
The Kingdom hosts the Gashaka-Gumti National Park, which was gazatted from two games reserves in 1991. It measures about 6,402 square kilometers, making it the largest in Nigeria and Africa in general.
