Friends of the Peace Parks

The Peace Parks Foundation, established on February 1, 1997, by HRH Prince Bernhard of the Netherlands, President Nelson Mandela, and Dr. Anton Rupert, focuses on facilitating transfrontier conservation areas across southern Africa. Over 26 years, the organization has successfully established ten transboundary conservation areas spanning 11 African countries, promoting both wildlife conservation and community development.

With a mission to secure 980,000 km² of functional transboundary landscapes by 2050, the foundation emphasizes holistic support, ecological connectivity, and the financial sustainability of protected areas. They prioritize the involvement of Indigenous communities in conservation efforts, ensuring that both nature and local populations can thrive together.
