The Nature Conservancy is the leading conservation organization working around the world to protect ecologically important lands and waters for nature and people. The Nature Conservancy’s vision for Africa is rooted in the people, who have not always been at the table during planning for a sustainable future. Our success depends on involving local communities. Why? The vast majority of Africa’s lands and waters are community property — shared resources that sustain some of the world’s most iconic wildlife and most vulnerable people. Moreover, most of the wildlife lives or migrates beyond park and reserve boundaries onto these communal lands and waters. TNC’s conservation approach everywhere it works focuses on helping local communities, governments and organizations conserve and enhance Africa’s critical shared resources. TNC provides technical and financial support to ACLN, in line with its goals to support its African conservation partners working in priority landscapes.
