Introduction
Africa’s land is under mounting pressure. Across the continent, habitats are being lost to degradation and over-development, and in East and Central Africa the forests that shelter the mountain gorilla are disappearing at an alarming rate. Protecting this land is essential to protecting the wildlife, and the people, who depend on it.
Through its grantmaking and Fiscal Sponsorship Program, Empowers Africa supports organizations working to conserve and restore Africa’s wild spaces. This includes securing crucial wildlife habitat, removing invasive and alien species so land can return to its natural state, protecting wildlife corridors, and educating rural communities on sustainable land use and natural resource management. We support projects that establish and expand conservancies, restore degraded ecosystems, and reduce human-wildlife conflict, creating safe havens where wildlife can thrive for generations to come.
Why Land Conservation Matters
Land is the foundation everything else depends on. When wildlife habitats are protected from degradation and over-development, ecosystems stay healthy, wildlife corridors stay open, and rural communities that share the land with wildlife have a real chance at sustainable, long-term coexistence. Land conservation today is what makes wildlife protection and human empowerment possible tomorrow.
How Empowers Africa Makes A Difference
