an introduction to our priorities
We have offices in three African countries; co-ordinating wildlife trade action across Central, East and Southern Africa.
Combating poaching and over-exploitation of natural resources continues to be a high conservation priority on the continent. An average of three rhinos are illegally killed each day in South Africa alone, 1,000,000 pangolins have been poached in the last decade, 65% of South African Abalone is illegally harvested, and forests in Cameroon, Madagascar, and beyond are facing rampant levels of illegal logging and over-exploitation.
We run numerous projects in Africa, simultaneously assessing levels of wildlife trade, developing innovative approaches to tackling wildlife crime, and supporting transformative regulatory change that benefits wildlife and sustainable human development.
