Great Plains Conservation Foundation

The Great Plains Conservation Foundation (GPF) is a US and UK public charity working to preserve, protect, and expand natural habitats in Africa through innovative conservation initiatives with a long-term commitment to the environment, wildlife, and local communities.

Its community-based conservation initiatives in rural Botswana, Kenya, and Zimbabwe foster community resilience, instill dedication to sustainable stewardship of the land for future generations, and help to reduce the inequities rural communities face through quality supplementary education and workforce development programs.

The Foundation is the charitable arm of the commercial ‘conservation tourism’ safari company, Great Plains Conservation (GPC). Both the commercial and charitable entities are guided by the mission of “conserving and expanding natural habitats,” using eco-tourism as a catalyst for conservation.
