Introduction
Healthy wildlife populations protect ecosystems, safeguard water resources, support tourism, create jobs, and strengthen local economies. Conserving wildlife is about protecting entire landscapes and ensuring future generations inherit Africa’s remarkable natural heritage.
Africa is home to some of the world’s most extraordinary wildlife, from elephants and rhinos to lions, giraffes, pangolins, wild dogs, and countless other species. These animals are essential to healthy ecosystems, sustainable tourism, and the livelihoods of millions of people.
Why Wildlife Matters
Yet today they face growing threats from habitat loss, climate change, poaching, illegal wildlife trade, and human-wildlife conflict. Protecting Africa’s wildlife requires long-term investment, local leadership, scientific research, and strong partnerships with communities. Through its grantmaking and Fiscal Sponsorship Program, Empowers Africa supports organizations working to protect wildlife and conserve critical landscapes through initiatives such as habitat expansion, wildlife translocations, anti-poaching operations, rewilding projects, and the protection of rhino and elephant sanctuaries.
