For two decades, African People & Wildlife has partnered with communities across Tanzania to protect wildlife, restore landscapes, and support sustainable livelihoods. See how this work has grown and where it’s going next.
Africa’s wild places impact the health of our Earth. We work to conserve iconic species like elephants and lions, uplift the communities who live alongside them, and preserve the landscapes they all share.
We recognize the deep linkages between people, wildlife, and the diverse ecosystems they call home. Together with communities and other partners, we focus on priorities that deliver win-win, sustainable solutions for people and nature.
Unlock the power of ACTIVE Community Engagement and create meaningful relationships with local communities for successful conservation outcomes. See how our workshops, retreats, and customized consulting services can help.
