Welcome to Leadership for Conservation in Africa

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

The LCA, a NEPAD (Africa Union) endorsed initiative, is aimed at unifying African's conservation authorities to significantly contribute to the economic development of the continent.

Our key focus is to establish a link between the business community and conservation institutions, as conservation cannot survive without a truly effective and sustainable commercial relationship. By using sound business principles, it is possible to keep up and nurture the sustainable development of Africa's unique biodiversity, habitats, forests and wildlife.

National LCA Chapters are established in each of the LCA's Africa member countries, comprising of representatives of both conservation and the business communities. Each chapter determines its own projects. This internal (national) drive ensures ownership and sustainability of these projects.

The LCA Board and its Patrons use its international network of leading business and governmental leaders to promote LCA initiatives, and to support specific conservation-driven development projects in each of the respective member countries.
