The Charity - African Parks

African Parks is a non-profit conservation organisation that takes on the complete responsibility for the rehabilitation and long-term management of national parks and protected areas in partnership with government and local communities.  With the largest counter-poaching force in Africa, over 600 rangers are on staff, and the most amount of area under protection for any one NGO in Africa, African Parks manages 10 national parks and protected areas in seven countries covering six million hectares: Malawi, Zambia, Central African Republic, the Democratic Republic of Congo, the Republic of Congo, Rwanda and Chad.



African Parks work spreads across five main areas of focus.  All of which I will be highlighting in my blog as I work to raise much needed funds to support this important work.

Saving Wildlife
Anti Poaching
Community Engagement
Tourism
New Parks

I will also be posting blogs highlighting each of the ten current parks.  I say current as with your help this could double to 20 parks by 2020!
