Adopt a Maasai Giraffe
Your contribution helps fund ACC's innovative conservation
efforts to save this majestic endangered animal—a
keystone species of East Africa's ecosystems.
Saving Elephants
The plight of elephants is dire. We invest in programs that reduce poaching, protect and expand migratory routes, and empower communities to conserve this keystone species.
Developing Livelihoods
We invest in communities developing sustainable enterprises related to ecotourism, nature-based products, crafts, rangeland and wildlife management, cultural heritage and environmental education.
Rebuilding Lion Prides
By combining the latest science with Maasai knowledge and participation, we are increasing lion numbers across the South Rift and decreasing human/lion conflicts.
Kenya's Natural Capital
Kenya's first Biodiversity Atlas is now available,
offering a richly illustrated guide to the country's
wealth of plant and animal life.

Investing in What Works: Community-Based Conservation
Conservation by, with and for communities is what community-based conservation is all about. We support the development of new approaches and institutions that achieve community-based management, strengthen capacity, and coordinate conservation activities among players.
Conserving Elephants, Lions & Ecosystems in East Africa
In addition to being magnificent animals that are in serious decline, elephants and lions play crucial roles in the way that their ecosystem functions. By focusing conservation efforts on these two keystone species, we have an opportunity to support the ecological and genetic viability of all other species in the ecosystem as well. ACC programs use science and indigenous knowledge to understand how these complex ecosystems function. Through their bioinformatics programs, they provide the information and mechanisms to help stakeholders make informed conservation decisions.
Developing Livelihoods, Educational Programs & Cultural Exchanges
We invest in communities living with wildlife to ensure they have the information and tools to continue to coexist with wildlife in a changing world. By supporting communities as they develop ecotourism businesses, nature-based products, crafts, rangeland and wildlife management methods, and cultural heritage & environmental education programs, we can improve livelihoods and save wildlife.
