Festus Benjamin, an Africa Nature Investors (ANI) ranger patrols in the Okomu National Park on November 11, 2025. Previously, he earned his living hunting forest animals. Now, he teaches local communities about the importance of conservation. By recruiting former poachers and loggers, Africa Nature Investors (ANI), an NGO charged by Nigeria's national parks service with managing Okomu, hopes to ease the economic pressures that eat away at Nigeria's nature reserves.
