“Huge congratulations to TOSCO for reaching the 10-year milestone! Happy birthday and thank you for your persevering efforts in protecting and conserving our national heritage that fuels the Namibian tourism industry. We thank you for fighting the battle to secure a sustainable future for our natural diversity and creating a beneficial balance for the communities that inhabit this sacred land. Good luck for the next 10 years and more, we will surely support your efforts in everything you do! Let’s hope that the Covid travel restrictions will be removed soon so that we can return to a more secured economic environment, which will in turn promise better financial support for TOSCO and hence a safer future for our natural environment.” – Guido Roeschlau (Sense of Africa)

My immense love for the natural world made me want to devote my life to conservation from an early age. My MSc in Tourism, Society, and Environment in the Netherlands grew my passion for the role sustainable tourism can take in conservation. As an avid traveler, I understand why exploring the unknown can be so enriching for many of us and I hope future generations can still enjoy traveling. I am originally from the Netherlands, and arrived in Namibia in 2016. It appeared the ultimate country to learn what successful conservation is about.
I could not have found a better organisation than TOSCO to involve tourism in the conservation equation. I joined TOSCO in 2019, initially coordinating the Desert Lion Program, and then became manager in 2020. Apart from that, I am involved in the Wildlife Credits program on behalf of TOSCO, partnering with WWF Namibia and CCFN. Through TOSCO and working with rural communities and other conservation partners, I really got to understand what successful conservation is about. I am very excited to grow TOSCO further with the team, broadening the connection between tourism and conservation by getting more of the tourism industry to join our movement, and deepening this connection by making conservation an integral part of tourism and the travel experience. I believe TOSCO with its team and programs can make a real difference!
