African Wildlife and Conservation Resources

Description

There is a powerful and pervasive need for global education and information sharing in the field of African wildlife management and habitat conservation. Although there are vast amounts of information and resources regarding wildlife conservation in Africa available throughout the world, these resources take a variety of forms and are scattered across organizations, countries, and continents. This wide dispersion of information makes it difficult for researchers and conservation practitioners to share information, minimize the duplication of efforts, and maximize benefits to natural and human communities. The African Wildlife and Conservation Project (AWC) seeks to address this problem by consolidating dispersed resources and making them widely available through the Internet. Our goal is to bring people and information from around the world together, because we believe that motivated, caring people who are armed with useful knowledge can combine their efforts, often synergistically, and achieve powerful results. Essential, broad-ranging African wildlife and habitat conservation information must become easily accessible from anywhere on the earth as global awareness, education and data sharing cannot wait. Our extensive research shows that no resource of this nature exists on the Internet or in any library in the world.
