Program areas at Wild Africa Fund

We are partnered with over 150 ambassadors from music, sports, film, tv, business, religion and government from nigeria, ghana, namibia, zimbabwe, somaliland, south Africa, rwanda, and tanzania. We are building a pan-african media distribution network through more than 25 national and international broadcasters, as well as radio, newspaper, billboard and social media companies to promote conservation and other environmental issues through a range of programming.we seek to increase the demand for wildlife conservation by popularizing it and engaging a broad audience, especially youth. By giving a platform to high-profile, concerned africans and supporting on the ground efforts, we seek to engage urban populations in experiencing wildlife tourism, supporting effective modern wildlife laws and their active enforcement, and empowering local conservation projects. At the same time, we look to increase reporting of wildlife crime and to reduce the demand for illegal bushmeat, protecting endangered species and minimizing the risk of zoonotic disease. Finally, we aim to change human wildlife conflict into peaceful and beneficial coexistence and promote ways to reduce habitat degradation.
