Our Mission
ABCG’s overarching mission is to advance understanding of critical biodiversity conservation challenges and their solutions in sub-Saharan Africa. We aspire to produce applicable knowledge and put it into practice.
About
Our Approach
ABCG creates innovative conservation solutions by fostering collaborative and adaptive learning opportunities that help practitioners improve, scale and replicate, while generating valuable user-driven knowledge disseminated globally.
Our History
Beginning in 1999, representatives from founding ABCG member organizations created an informal partnership to discuss the value of focused collaboration as a way to achieve greater conservation impact than the members could acting individually.
Our Members
ABCG is a voluntary coalition of diverse international conservation and development non governmental organizations and research organizations with extensive field programs in Africa: African Wildlife Foundation, Conservation International, The Jane Goodall Institute, The Nature Conservancy, Wildlife Conservation Society, World Resources Institute, World Wildlife Fund, International Livestock Research Institute, Birdlife Africa, Movement for Community Led Development and the Society for Conservation Biology Africa.
Our Governance
ABCG is led by a Steering Committee supported by a Secretariat which collectively provide vision, direction, leadership and management of ABCG’s activities and objectives. As an integral part, the hosting of the ABCG Secretariat is rotated among its members and is currently hosted by the African Wildlife Foundation, located in Nairobi, Kenya.
