AFRICAN WILDLIFE FOUNDATION

The African Wildlife Foundation has three main goals. They want to conserve wildlife. They want to protect land and they want to empower people. This website talks about each of these goals in great detail. Today, wildlife in Africa does not exist in isolation. Most wildlife populations live outside of protected areas, where they live alongside humans. Effective wildlife conservation means recognizing this complex human-wildlife dynamic and implementing programs to address the needs of both humans and animals. AWF believes that loss and fragmentation of habitat is the single largest threat to most African wildlife. AWF invests heavily in education and sustainable development so that Africans can lead in conserving their natural heritage.

This website was interesting because of all the great pictures of African wildlife. The wildlife gallery was so fun to look at. It's amazing all the many varieties of animals that live in Africa. When you click on a picture of an animal it also gave vital statistics of that creature. It gave it's average size, weight, lifespan, habitat, diet, gestation and even predators. African wildlife is one of the positive things Africa is known for and this website does a wonderful job exploring the topic.
