The African Wildlife Foundation

For nearly 60 years, AWF has been the leading international conservation organization focused soley on Africa. AWF promotes an African conservation vision. Conservation, to be effective and sustainable, must be Africa-led. Today, AWF is the only global conservation organization that implements Africa-led strategies and programs. AWF implements proven conservation solutions and develops new approaches that benefit humans and wildlife despite the challenges Africa's rapid development brings. AWF partners with other NGOs and at the highest level of government but also regionally and with local communities, to engage people in activities such as sustainable land-use planning and building schools in exchange for conservation commitments. We believe that protecting Africa's wildlife and wild landscapes is the key to the future prosperity of Africa and its people — and for over 50 years, we have made it our work to help ensure that Africa's wild resources endure.
