Community Conservation Fund Africa – Protect the environment and wildlife

The Community Conservation Fund – Africa (CCFA) is born to address the urgent need for community development to benefit Africa’s wild animals and wilderness areas.

The goal of CCFA is to create a conservation legacy through projects that protect the environment and wildlife by creating sustainable partnerships with communities. 

The Fund partners with internationally successful wildlife conservation organisations such as Wilderness Foundation Africa, African Parks and Tusk Trust, as well as local NGOs, to collaborate on projects in conservation areas in Africa.

Since 2018, CCFA-funded projects have helped to:

• Improve the environment for people as well as nature
• Contribute towards the alleviation of poverty
• Assist with personal and social transformation
• Change and uplift communities
• Address ways of creating more sustainable lifestyles

The no-profit organization has supported projects in seven countries in Africa with positive outcomes.
They range from focusing on gorilla health in Rwanda to bringing clean drinking water to communities in Namibia, stopping the illegal trade of the endangered grey-crowned cranes, creating green landscapes, supporting elephant conservation and a human-elephant coexistence program in Namibia and creating a fisheries project that currently supports around 120 families in Rwanda.
