Projects
In October 2023, West African Conservation Network (WACN) entered into a 31-year Memorandum of Understanding with the Nigeria National Park Service to support the long-term protection, restoration, and security of Kainji Lake National Park, one of Nigeria’s most important and historically significant protected areas.
West African Conservation Network (WACN) is leading the long-term restoration and development of Sumu Wildlife Park in Bauchi State, Nigeria, a historically important savanna landscape with strong potential to become a flagship model for ecosystem recovery, species reintroduction, and conservation-led development in northern Nigeria.
Some of the world’s most successful conservation stories began with landscapes that had been overlooked, under-resourced or in decline. With the right vision, committed partnerships and sustained investment, those landscapes have been transformed into places where wildlife is recovering, ecosystems are functioning once again and conservation is creating lasting benefits for people.
