Activities
Founded by President Nelson Mandela, Prince Bernhard of the Netherlands and Dr Anton Rupert in 1997 with a mandate to rewild southern Africa, Peace Parks Foundation set out on a mission that became Africa’s largest nature conservation initiative. With an initial focus on bringing Heads of State together to create transboundary landscapes, Peace Parks’ early successes saw the creation of 10 transfrontier conservation areas. This placed an additional 11.3 million hectares of land under conservation.
Peace Parks has evolved over the past 27 years, continuously adapting our role to maximise impact, drawing on valuable lessons learned along the way. We engage in long-term co-management agreements with communities and governments, ensuring local ownership and lasting capacity development, making sure communities are at the heart of decision-making.
