The African Union of Conservationists (AUC) is an independent non-governmental organization dedicated to promoting modern environmental conservation practices across Africa. We work to bring together conservationists, organizations, and institutions to address the continent’s most pressing environmental challenges through collaboration, knowledge sharing, and sustainable solutions.
Our mandate is to facilitate joint efforts with national and international organizations, NGOs, community-based organizations (CBOs), civil society organizations (CSOs), local authorities, and governments. By building these partnerships, we ensure that conservation and development are not competing priorities but integrated efforts that benefit both people and the planet.
