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.
