Our Impact In Numbers
Learn More about our impactLand Protected
We have helped safeguard 8 million acres of critical habitat across our ecosystems
From the Greater Kruger region to the Chizarira valley, we work alongside local communities to keep vital ecosystems intact for the species, and people, who depend on them.
Communities Empowered
We support 180+ communities and local partners directly
Conservation lasts when the people closest to the land lead it. We provide direct financing and co-design strategies with our partners so they can protect their own natural heritage.
Ecosystems at Work
We work across 4 flagship ecosystems in Botswana, South Africa, Zimbabwe, and Tanzania
Greater Kruger and Manyeleti, Chizarira National Park, the Zanzibar Archipelago, and our newest ecosystem in Botswana: each a long-term, large-scale programme built with trusted local partners.
