Because of You, We Accomplish Great Things
All of this is possible only with the support of our donors, who have contributed more than $ 49.1 million * to CAF since its inception in 2017, supporting more than 275 projects around the world.
With your help, the Conservation Action Fund( CAF) has supported 76 projects in Africa.
We have already safeguarded 11,636,718 acres of essential habitat in Africa, and another estimated 24 million acres are in the process of being protected.
Once fully protected, these acres will safeguard 3.25 gigatons of CO 2 equivalents, which is comparable to the annual electricity use of more than 678.6 million U. S. homes.
Overall, these projects are protecting 1,121 threatened and endangered species in Africa.
