The African Wildlife Foundation (AWF) recognizes that the wildlife and wild lands of Africa have no equal. They work with people -- their supporters worldwide and their partners in Africa -- to craft and deliver creative solutions for the long-term well-being of Africa's remarkable species, their habitats and the people who depend upon them.

AWF Programs include :
AWF Heartlands. Large landscapes of outstanding natural value-great swaths of land that include parkland and private land; communal areas and even villages. In each African Heartland, AWF works with all interested residents and groups to manage the whole Heartland as one unit, making the area both environmentally viable for wildlife and economically viable for people.

AWF Conservation Service Centers (CSCs). The CSCs help communities both within and outside African Heartlands to benefit from wildlife as they make more acreage wildlife-friendly.

AWF Species Programs. AWF sponsors research on endangered species as well as ways for humans and wildlife to live peaceably together.
