African National Parks Challenge – Africa's Wild Places

Africa's national parks protect some of the richest wildlife on Earth. Savanna parks like Kruger and the Serengeti host the Big Five, while forest parks like Bwindi shelter gorillas.

Parks support local economies through tourism and jobs. Many work with nearby communities so that people benefit from protecting wildlife rather than hunting it.

Some parks show remarkable recovery. Akagera's reintroductions and Gorongosa's rebuilding after war prove that damaged ecosystems can return.
