A Virunga Artisan begins the creation of a basket. All proceeds from the sale of Virunga Artisan products go to the artists' fair wages and to the International Gorilla Conservation Program.

Creating Enterprises
People Choosing Conservation

When communities in and around large landscapes are poor, even the best-managed landscapes suffer degradation. However, conservation becomes a priority when AWF shows local people that conserving wildlife can create prosperity through locally-owned businesses.

With your support, AWF will help rural communities build conservation-based businesses like bee-keeping, basket-weaving, beading and community-owned tourist lodges that provide direct economic benefits from wildlife conservation.

Help save Africa's Heartlands by supporting conservation enterprises.

Your gift now will support AWF’s work throughout the African continent and ensure Africa’s wildlife and wild lands endure forever.
