African Parks is a non-governmental organisation based in South Africa that works to conserve and restore Africa's last wild landscapes. Since the foundation in 2000, they have pioneered conservation action by managing 20 million hectares of land in a total of 22 national parks. By 2030, they aim to restore a total of 30% of Africa's vital ecosystems. As part of a comprehensive conservation strategy, African Parks have already identified 161 anchor landscapes whose protection will be critical to achieving the 30by30 target.
