We help protect Africa’s remaining natural ecosystems and the large wild animals they contain, while bringing major social and economic value to local communities and national governments

Africa’s iconic landscapes span rainforests to deserts, wetlands to savannahs. This biodiversity is essential to climate resilience, livelihoods, and could hold the keys to future innovations and pharmaceutical breakthroughs. However, these areas are under extreme pressure, and if not protected, will be lost forever. 

We work across Africa’s iconic landscapes to unlock the full value of nature by protecting biodiversity and remaining populations of megafauna, while expanding economic, cultural, and social value for local communities and national governments for generations to come. We are headquartered in Kenya, work in ten countries in Africa, and are registered as a charity in the UK and a 501c3 non profit in the US.  

We bring the discipline of good management, conservation investment, and adaptive innovation to these spaces as a way of not only halting their degradation, but restoring and expanding landscapes through a combination of public and private management strategies. Driven by local context, we are able to draw on the expertise of our programme teams in key areas:

• Conservation Landscapes: Ensuring management of key ecosystems through private-public partnerships

• Conservation Investment: Building a nature-based economy to ensure landscapes are financially sustainable in the long-term

• Wildlife Justice: Strengthening African justice systems to bring an end to the illegal wildlife trade

• Conservation Science: Understanding and applying learnings to improve management and protection

• Human-wildlife Coexistence: Ensuring people and wildlife coexist in shared wild spaces 

• Frontline protection: Equipping and training those working on in the national parks and conservation areas

• Conservation Journalism: Supporting the next generation of African conservation storytellers
