About the College

We have helped train over 23 000 people from 60 countries around the world by partnering with conservation agencies, local communities, governments, and other educational institutions. Our students work in 130 parks across Africa and are responsible for some of the world’s most biologically diverse areas.

The success of the College depends on the collaboration and support of numerous conservation groups, government agencies, conservation organisations and other partners. Most importantly, the College would not exist without the financial support of our valued partners, donors and supporters.

You can be the positive change required for conservation in Africa to succeed.
