2020 Year in Review
"I am cautiously optimistic that protecting nature will now take on new meaning to decision makers, the voting public, and for the people who are living on the frontlines who during this economic collapse, are surviving off the very nature we are protecting." - Peter Fearnhead, CEO, African Parks

Our Work
African Parks is a non-profit conservation organization that takes on direct responsibility for the rehabilitation and long-term management of protected areas in partnership with governments and local communities.
-
Saving Wildlife
We are facing a conservation crisis in Africa. Some of the planet's most spectacular species are being lost, but we are working to protect them.
-
Park Protection
We have the largest counter-poaching force in all of Africa for any one NGO. Our 1000 rangers provide safety for both wildlife and people.
-
Community Development
For protected areas to survive in the long-term, local people need to value them, and derive benefits from the park’s existence.
-
Tourism & Enterprise
Visiting the parks is critical to their survival, and tourism and other enterprises contribute to local and national economies.
-
Management & Infrastructure
We create infrastructure to deliver good park management benefiting both wildlife and local communities.
