Wildlife
Working with National Parks
The primary purpose of Foundation Five is the safeguarding of all creatures great and small, especially but not exclusively ‘the Big Five’ in Africa. Activities in each National Park will depend upon the local needs of that National Park and its associated communities. Activities include the prevention of poaching and cruelty to animals, conservation of associated ecosystems and sustainable forest management.
