This grant, offered in partnership with Gabon’s National Parks Service (ANPN), World Wildlife Fund, and Wildlife Conservation Society, aims to conserve Gabon’s vital wildlife heritage. Its primary purpose is to transform ANPN into a leading African parks agency by significantly reinforcing its institutional capacity. The project will address immediate and critical threats to wildlife, such as poaching and the damaging impacts of extractive industries within national parks and their surrounding buffer zones. Furthermore, it focuses on building robust, long-term institutional capabilities to enhance the overall management of these crucial protected areas. This comprehensive approach ensures both immediate threat mitigation and sustainable improvement in park and buffer zone oversight.

This charge includes stimulating the development of a tourism industry, combining sustainable development and conservation to enhance, rather than simply maintaining the geophysical character of a tourism site.

ANPN’s special role in government puts it in the best position to conserve Gabon’s wildlife heritage and to become a premier African parks agency within five years. ANPN is best poised to respond to immediate wildlife threats, including poaching and the impacts of extractive industries in national parks and their surrounding buffer zones. ANPN will build their institutional capacity to improve national park and buffer zone management in Gabon. |
