African Parks is a non-profit conservation organisation that takes on responsibility for the long-term management of protected areas in partnership with governments and local communities. African Parks manages 23 protected areas in 13 countries covering over 20 million hectares in Angola, Benin, Central African Republic, Chad, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Ethiopia, Malawi, Mozambique, the Republic of Congo, South Sudan, Rwanda, Zambia and Zimbabwe.

The organisation was founded in 2000 in response to the dramatic decline of protected areas due to poor management and lack of funding. African Parks utilises a clear business approach to conserving Africa’s wildlife and remaining wild areas, securing vast landscapes and carrying out the necessary activities needed to protect the parks and their wildlife. African Parks maintains a strong focus on economic development and poverty alleviation of surrounding communities to ensure that each park is ecologically, socially, and financially sustainable in the long-term.

Our goal is to manage 30 parks by 2030, the geographic spread of protected areas and representation of different ecoregions makes this the largest and most ecologically diverse portfolio of parks under management by any one NGO on the continent.

Why Farm Africa?

In rural communities across eastern Africa the challenges of poverty, food insecurity and biodiversity loss are being intensified by climate change and global economic instability.

The key to addressing each of these challenges lies in sustainable and effective agriculture.

Farm Africa works in partnership with smallholder farmers and small businesses to improve the quality, quantity and value of their produce, so that they can support their families with more resilient livelihoods.

We support farmers to gain access to finance and markets, so that they can strengthen their businesses and revitalise communities by expanding employment.
