The Frankfurt Zoological Society (FZS) is dedicated to the conservation of the Serengeti ecosystem, one of Africa's last remaining savanna landscapes. Founded over six decades ago, FZS is committed to safeguarding wildlife and natural resources while fostering sustainable community partnerships. The organization focuses on protecting iconic species like elephants, lions, and the critically endangered black rhino, which plays a vital role in the delicate balance of this biodiverse region.

FZS works in close collaboration with local communities, developing land-use plans that harmonize agriculture, livestock grazing, and habitat conservation. Through initiatives such as Community Conservation Banks (COCOBAs), they empower families by providing access to savings and loans to establish conservation-friendly businesses. FZS also supports ranger operations with advanced technology for monitoring and protection efforts, including anti-poaching initiatives that have successfully removed thousands of snares. Their ongoing efforts ensure that both the wildlife and local livelihoods thrive, preserving the Serengeti for future generations.
