ABOUT US

The Nature Conservancy is the leading conservation organization working to make a positive impact around the world in more than 30 countries, all 50 United States, and your backyard. Founded in 1951, the mission of The Nature Conservancy is to conserve the lands and waters on which all life depends. Visitwww.nature.org/aboutus to learn more.
THE NATURE CONSERVANCY IN AFRICA
From the heights of Mount Kilimanjaro to the rich coral reefs off the coast of Mozambique, Africa supports some of the most stunning places and wildlife on Earth. Much remains as it was a millennium ago. But as populations rise and the climate changes, Africa's landscapes have dramatically been altered over the last 50 years. And with increasingly complex challenges comes the need for evolved conservation strategies.
The Nature Conservancy's vision for Africa is rooted in its people - who historically have not always been at the table during planning for their sustainable future. Our success depends on the involvement of local communities to create a conservation agenda that incorporates their needs along with the needs of the lands and wildlife of this vast landscape.
Roughly 60 percent of Africa's lands and almost 100 percent of its waters are community property -- shared resources that sustain some of the most iconic wildlife and the most vulnerable people on Earth.  These communal lands and waters outside of Africa's famed national parks are critical to the continent's wildlife and people, as the majority of the wildlife live or migrate beyond park boundaries. The Nature Conservancy's projects inKenya,Tanzania,Namibia,Zambiaand theWest Indian Oceanfocus on helping local communities, governments and organizations better manage these important shared resources.
