Rolex Awards – Inza Koné – Ep. 3: Back to the Roots

A 2023 Rolex Awards Laureate, Inza Koné is on a mission to help people and nature successfully coexist and protect one of Côte d’Ivoire’s last remaining ancient rainforests, Tanoé-Ehy. In 2006, this pursuit led him to establish a conservation programme with 11 local communities, and, in 2021, Tanoé-Ehy was named a natural reserve collectively managed and owned by the communities. To Koné, conservation and human well-being are inextricably linked and he supports sustainable livelihoods in Tanoé-Ehy, including growing and processing cassava products, a popular food in Côte d’Ivoire.
