African Parks Foundation of America

The African Parks Foundation works to secure financial resources in order to support and advance the habitat and wildlife protection efforts of African Parks Network, located in Johannesburg, South Africa.  African Parks is a non-profit organization that takes on direct responsibility for the rehabilitation and long-term management of national parks, in partnership with governments and local communities.  By adopting a business approach to conservation, supported by donor funding, we aim to make each park sustainable in the long-term, thereby contributing to economic development and poverty alleviation.  We currently manage ten parks in seven countries – CAR, Chad, Congo, DRC, Malawi, Rwanda, and Zambia – with a combined area of six million hectares.
