The African Wildlife Foundation is an international conservation organization working in large landscapes across the African continent. The organisation works to ensure wildlife and wildlands thrive in modern Africa through a multi-faceted approach to conservation strategies for wildlife, wildlands, and people.
In partnership with the Ministry of Forests and Wildlife (MINFOF), AWF has secured funding of €5,000,000 (€4,500,000 from the European Union and €500,000 from AWF co-funding) for implementing the action “Natura Sud-Est – Improving the Management Effectiveness of the Dja Wildlife Reserve” within the framework of the Green Landscape South/Southeast Cameroon (PVSSEC) program. This program aims to enhance the management effectiveness of the Dja Wildlife Reserve at the landscape level. Launched at the World Conservation Congress in September 2021, NaturAfrica is an international partnership initiative by the EU’s Directorate-General for International Partnerships (INTPA) that supports biodiversity conservation in Africa through an innovative, people-centered approach. With a total budget of €310 million (2021-2027), NaturAfrica prioritizes development actions in landscapes identified in “Larger than Elephants: Inputs for an EU strategic approach to wildlife conservation in Africa” (2016; updated edition in progress).
