The African Conservation Foundation's overall mission is to change the approach of the management and utilization of natural resources to one in which the needs of human development in the region are reconciled with biodiversity conservation. Specific goals: - Linking conservation initiatives across the continent, and strengthening the networking capacities of research and conservation groups and NGOs. - Providing training, support and technical assistance for conservation groups and NGOs, particularly grassroots, in Africa. - Offering capacity support for sustainable community projects linked with conservation. - Serving as an educational resource centre for the general public, both within and outside of Africa. - Conducting on-the-ground conservation projects.
