vision in Africa is to work towards fostering a sustainable future for
people and nature, partnering with indigenous communities across 55

leveraging scientific and technical expertise as we collaborate with
governments and organizations to conserve and enhance Africa’s shared
resources in the nine countries where we operate.

Africa transcends three key pillars: securing ownership rights to lands

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 fisheries management, ocean and source water protection, energy
development and sustainable food production, working together and
strengthening our resolve in tackling global challenges such as climate
change, habitat and biodiversity loss that stands to adversely impact
the nearly 1.4 billion people that share Africa.
