  • The Republic of Mozambique’s National Administration of Conservation Areas (ANAC)
    In December 2017, African Parks signed a 25-year co-management agreement with Mozambique’s National Administration of Conservation Areas (ANAC), aiming to restore, develop, and manage Bazaruto Archipelago National Park and revitalise it as one of the leading and most productive marine protected areas in East Africa. Pejul Pedro Sebastião Calenga is the current Director General of ANAC.
  • The Wyss Foundation
    The Foundation is a private charitable organisation dedicated to supporting innovative, lasting solutions that improve lives, empower communities and strengthen connections to the land. The Foundation’s relationship with African Parks began in 2015 with a grant to support the restoration of Akagera National Park, followed by a significant investment in Malawi’s Liwonde National Park and Nkhotakota Wildlife Reserve. In 2017, the Foundation made a ground-breaking commitment of US$65m to provide ongoing support for Akagera and the Malawi parks, along with start-up funding for five new parks. This enabled the addition of Pendjari and W in Benin, Bazaruto Archipelago National Park in Mozambique, Iona National Park in Angola, Matusadona National Park in Zimbabwe and Nyungwe National Park in Rwanda. In 2021, the Foundation furthered its support of African Parks with another extraordinary commitment of US$108m, which will provide for the continued support of current Wyss-funded parks, as well as start-up funding for another five new parks. Three parks recently added to our portfolio – Kafue National Park in Zambia, Badingilo and Boma National Parks in South Sudan – are benefitting from the Wyss Foundation’s latest commitment and five are benefiting from renewal commitments – Bazaruto, Pendjari, Majete, Nkhotakota and Liwonde.
