Africa Biodiversity Collaborative Group

African Wildlife Foundation is a founding member of the Africa Biodiversity Collaborative Group (ABCG), a consortium comprised of seven U.S.-based international conservation nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) aimed at advancing the understanding of critical biodiversity conservation challenges and their solutions in sub-Saharan Africa. We aspire to produce applicable knowledge and put it into practice. ABCG offers AWF important opportunities to pursue and exchange learning on high-priority and emerging conservation issues. In the past few years, AWF teamed up with ABCG to conduct a systematic review of approaches used by villages to implement Village Land-Use Plans in Tanzania, assess the impacts of human responses to climate change on natural resources, and to develop a methodological approach to conservation and land use planning, based on scenario analysis, to incorporate equitable and climate-smart alternatives into land use decisions for conservation.
