14 August 2023: Antidius Raphael, African Wildlife Foundation’s new Ecohydrologist in Kilombero, Southern Tanzania, started his journey with the organization as a student trainee in 2019 while completing an undergraduate degree at the Sokoine University of Agriculture. Following his master’s in environmental and natural resource economics, Antidius returned to AWF as an intern in 2021, assisting landscape restoration and water resources management projects in key catchments in the Kilombero landscape.
In May 2023 — with a second M.Sc. degree in Applied Ecohydrology from a consortium of four European universities under his belt — he returned to AWF once again to implement nature-based solutions in the same landscape under the ‘SUSTAIN – Ecosystem Stewardship to Balance Sustainability and Growth in Tanzania (SUSTAIN Eco)’ program.
