Valuable progress can’t be squandered

In Kenya, AWF helped improve conviction rates of wildlife crime from 44% in 2013 to more than 90% in 2017.

AWF protects 1.7 million hectares of wild lands in Africa to provide safe habitats for wildlife, conserve biodiversity, and safeguard against the harmful effects of climate change.

About 190,000 elephants — roughly 40% of all African elephants — are under AWF’s protection.
