Across Africa, critically endangered species like rhinos, pangolins, elephants, wild dogs, big cats, chimps and gorillas face grave threats from poaching and trafficking. To protect them we help local communities on the front lines of conservation. Your support is urgently needed to increase impact.

Across Africa, endangered species face relentless pressure from the illegal wildlife trade. Local communities are best placed to defend nature where it counts, but they battle rampant poaching, technical gaps, and weak infrastructure. In 2024, 586 rhinos were poached continent-wide and circa 17 000 elephants killed. For pangolins (the world’s most trafficked mammal) up to 2.7 million are lost every year in Central and West Africa. Community conservation is essential but overwhelmed.
Working with our African community partners, we support efforts to protect pangolins in Namibia, elephants and wild dogs in Botswana, and marine life in Kenya, helping communities face daily conservation challenges. We boost impact by strengthening local capability because we understand how to find the most high-impact local partners who are entrenched in their communities to bring about lasting change on species and their habitats.
