Our Priorities
As Africa confronts growing threats to biodiversity, we must take bold and urgent action to secure a more sustainable future—together. African People & Wildlife creates a more balanced world by focusing on priorities that deliver win-win outcomes for people and nature.

Wildlife Conservation and Coexistence
