In Angola, this community used to hunt sea turtles. Now it protects them

Source: World Economic Forum (video statements)

Previously, locals in Hojiua, Angola, would kill up to 30 sea turtles a day to cook and sell. Now, they have jobs as caretakers and beach patrollers in an ecotourism economy based around turtle preservation.

The turnaround is thanks to a scheme by Angola’s oldest university, Universidade Agostinho Neto. The Kitabanga Project trains locals in #conservation skills and new roles as tour guides and wildlife protectors, addressing the poverty that drove turtle-hunting. The result? The number of baby #turtles is booming, and livelihoods in Hojiua are more resilient and sustainable.

Nvidia’s Jensen Huang on AI & The Mountaineer Who Faced Death | WEF | Top Stories of the Week

Source: World Economic Forum (video statements)

This week’s top stories of the week include:

0:14 – Why AI is like a five-layer cake, according to Jensen Huang: The Nvidia CEO breaks down AI into 5 layers. He explains which is the most important layer; how AI is going to create roles for people; and why distinguishing between the purpose and task of a job can help us understand what humans do better.

4:39 – What’s next for global trade? 3 predictions from the head of the WTO: ‘Everything has changed for the global economy’, says Gita Gopinath, Harvard economics professor and former deputy managing director of the IMF, as she explains why recent turmoil hasn’t yet shown up in global growth rates. In this interview, she also discusses the potential of AI, as well as concerns about a bubble, and the threat of ‘jobless growth’.

7:07 – This mountaineer faced death on one of the world’s most dangerous mountains. Now, he’s fighting to protect it: In 2023, Anurag Maloo was trapped for three days the 10th highest mountain in the world. Today, Maloo believes he survived for a larger purpose: to protect the mountains and glaciers that gave him a second life. He founded the Voice of Glaciers Foundation, which uses arts, science, community action and storytelling to raise awareness about glaciers and the dangers they face from climate change.

11:33 – Two footballing legends explain how failure can be the best coach: As football fans around the globe prepare for the biggest Fifa World Cup ever, what can the beautiful game teach us about life? For Alessandro Del Piero, who won with Italy in 2006, the journey to victory was marked by a willingness to learn from mistakes. For Arsène Wenger, former manager of Arsenal, success depends on the ability to cope under pressure.
