vision in Africa is to work towards fostering a sustainable future for
people and nature, partnering with indigenous communities across 55
million acres on the continent. Our efforts are firmly rooted in people,
leveraging scientific and technical expertise as we collaborate with
governments and organizations to conserve and enhance Africa’s shared
resources in the nine countries we operate.

resources for indigenous people, strengthening leadership and resource
management, and helping communities value nature through a holistic
appreciation of its benefits while increasing revenue streams for
conservation efforts and socio-economic development. Together with our
partners, we are witnessing critical milestones in integrated land and
