African Wildlife Conservation Fund

African Wildlife Conservation Fund’s (AWCF) mission is to conserve viable populations of endangered African wild dogs and other large carnivores in Zimbabwe, as well as the prey species and habitats on which they depend, through research, hands-on conservation, education, community engagement and policy dialogue.

AWCF monitors and protects African wild dogs and other carnivores through a holistic approach to conservation across the Southeast lowveld region of Zimbabwe, working extensively in and around the Savé Valley Conservancy, and the Gonarezhou National Park.

Their approach includes management driven research, hands-on conservation, the promotion of human-wildlife coexistence, as well as community education and engagement, with a focus on improving school education standards and community livelihoods, to ensure the sustainability of their approach and continued meaningful outputs for conservation.
