Africa’s Voice for Wildlife
Africa’s Voice for Wildlife
We are an Africa-based global conservation organization protecting wildlife and their habitats as essential parts of a modern and prosperous Africa. We articulate a unique vision of African-led conservation, focusing on solutions that create opportunity for people — not at the expense of wildlife and their habitats, but because of them.
We Stand Behind Conservation Decision-Makers
From communities on the front lines to policymakers at national and global levels, African leaders are making daily decisions about conservation and development. We work to connect these leaders with the best science, data, and insights.
