Sapa Village School Constructed With FCF Funding With proper management the wildlife of Africa can become the livelihood of the communities that surround and live amongst it. The Friedkin Conservation Fund was established to educate local communities of the economic benefits conservation can bring, to assist them with projects funded from sustainable wildlife utilization, and to assist the Tanzanian government with anti poaching operations. Tanzania has an admirable wildlife policy which we are proud to support. We strongly believe that only by realizing the benefits of tourism will local communities look upon their wildlife as a resource to be held in trust for future generations. The Friedkin Conservation Fund spends virtually nothing in administration, donations made go directly to where it can make the greatest difference. Your contribution will make a difference to the future of African wildlife. The Friedkin Conservation Fund is registered in the United States and any contribution is tax deductible.
