Our Mission

Placing communities at the center of wildlife conservation efforts

Since the emergence of the first conservancies in the 1970s, conservancies have grown in number and their impact has broadened beyond wildlife conservation and tourism.

While wildlife conservation is a key objective, conservancies have the unique power to transform communities while safeguarding our iconic wildlife by uniting communities, promoting peace and security and improving livelihoods.

As the national umbrella body uniting the dynamic and diverse voices of wildlife conservancies in the county, we exist to harness this power.
