Over and Above Africa
We protect animals in crisis and improve wildlife conditions by funding projects helmed by their guardians on-the-ground. We place a lens on the interdependency between animals and local communities. Through funding short and long-range projects, community involvement and education impacts sustainability measures and increases the survival rates for all.
We share this planet with all its wildlife and if we are to survive, we must find a way to do this harmoniously. We fund and mentor local initiatives that are often outside the scope of the larger wildlife organizations, and who are too often overlooked so not provided the same financial ground cover. However, our experience has shown us that these community projects, improve conditions for the villagers and endangered species fairly rapidly, promoting good-will and project success, which leads to more opportunities for these initiatives.
We believe in the power of a common goal, and we endeavor to connect nonprofits with each other, and to communities that are aligned with their mandates to form a conservation community. We help tear down the self-imposed walls between NGO’s and unite us to focus in solving these critical issues.
