African Conservation Centre - Kenya
An indigenous African conservation initiative, the African Conservation Centre brings together the people and skills needed to build East Africa ‘s capacity to conserve wildlife through sound science, local initiatives and good governance. East Africa’s great wildlife spectacle coexisted with people for millennia unlike elsewhere in the world. However, population growth, poverty, alterations in land use and poaching have halved wildlife numbers. The future of Africa’s wildlife depends on safeguarding critical space both outside and inside parks. The ACC works towards this goal by winning local support and gaining national and international backing for conservation initiatives.
