African Parks is a non-profit conservation organization that aims to manage 20 parks by 2020, creating the most ecologically diverse portfolio of parks under one management across Africa. They take direct responsibility for the rehabilitation and long-term management of protected areas in partnership with governments and local communities. African Parks focuses on three core areas: biodiversity conservation, community development, and park revenue generation.

They safeguard protected areas through law enforcement, species restoration, monitoring, and research to protect biodiversity and ensure healthy ecosystem services. They also engage with local communities to ensure that protected areas provide long-term benefits to the people and promote ecological sustainability, socio-economic development, and education. Additionally, African Parks creates a conservation-led economy by developing sustainable tourism options and conservation-compatible enterprises to generate revenue for the management and protection of the parks
