Large Landscape Level Conservation Spanning Multiple International Borders

Peace Parks Foundation focuses on the development of five transboundary landscapes in southern Africa. We provide holistic support by restoring and conserving wild spaces at scale, strengthening the resilience of communities and enabling the financial sustainability of protected areas.

Our Vision 2050 is to secure 980,000 km² of functional transboundary landscapes where people and nature thrive.

Conservation at Scale Creates Healthy Landscapes

Peace Parks Foundation believes that conservation at scale creates healthy landscapes and resilient communities that are able to adapt to the effects of climate change. We have identified five transboundary landscapes in southern Africa where we will focus our attention.

In partnership with Government and the people living and working in the landscape, our strategy for 2030 is to protect and professionally manage ten key protected areas and establish restored ecological connectivity through seven key wildlife corridors.

This strategy provides us with a medium-term roadmap and key milestones to achieve our vision for 2050. Our strategy relies on three pillars to drive positive change across nine impact areas. Together, they guide our interventions and define the impact of our work.

A transfrontier conservation area (TFCA) is defined as the area or component of a large ecological region that straddles the boundaries of two or more countries. It encompasses one or more protected areas as well as multiple resource use areas. Peace Parks Foundation was actively involved in the establishment and development of ten of the 18 transboundary landscapes found throughout southern Africa.
