Nonprofit Overview
Causes: Animals, Environment, International, International Development, Natural Resources Conservation & Protection, Protection of Endangered Species, Wildlife Preservation & Protection
Mission: African People & Wildlife (APW) protects wildlife, invests in people, and restores balance to Africa’s vital ecosystems through effective conservation action, applied science, and collective impact.
Results: African People & Wildlife has woven coexistence into everyday life. More than 2,100 Living Walls now shield 24,400 pastoralists and 125,000 livestock nightly, virtually ending retaliatory lion killings, while 165 locally hired Warriors for Wildlife defuse thousands of conflicts on the ground. A 1,900-strong women’s beekeeping network safeguards habitat and markets “Mama Asali” honey, and youth programs have reached 19,700 students. Altogether, partner communities now steward over 800,000 acres of revitalized rangeland where people and wildlife thrive.
Target demographics: find the balance for people and nature
Geographic areas served: 6 critical conservation landscapes across Tanzania
Programs: human-wildlife conflict mitigation, sustainable rangeland management, women's beekeeping, youth and adult environmental education, and ACTIVE community engagement training
