FORM 990, PART III, LINE 4A:	AS IT DEMONSTRATES THAT WILDLIFE AND PEOPLE CAN THRIVE SIDE BY SIDE, AWF PROVIDES CRITICAL ASSISTANCE TO NATIONAL PARKS AND RESERVES AND PROMOTES INTERNATIONAL COOPERATION TO PROTECT IMPORTANT SITES AND POPULATIONS THAT STRETCH ACROSS NATIONAL BOUNDARIES. AWF WORK CAN BE CATEGORIZED INTO THE FOLLOWING CORE AREAS: LAND AND HABITAT CONSERVATION, WILDLIFE PROTECTION AND EDUCATION AND ADVOCACY. BELOW ARE DESCRIPTIONS OF AWF WORK AND KEY ACHIEVEMENTS WITHIN THE LAST FISCAL YEAR. I. LAND AND HABITAT CONSERVATION: AWF'S UNIQUE LARGE-LANDSCAPE APPROACH TO CONSERVATION FOCUSES ON IDENTIFYING AFRICA'S GREAT WILD SPACES AND WORKING WITH GOVERNMENTS AND OTHER PARTNERS TO SECURE THESE SPACES AS A HOME FOR WILDLIFE - PIECING TOGETHER PARKS, PRIVATE LANDS AND COMMUNITY LANDS. HISTORICALLY, AWF WORKED TO ESTABLISH NATIONAL PARKS AND WILDLIFE RESERVES AND TO HELP LOCAL PEOPLE ESTABLISH COMMUNITY CONSERVANCIES. AWF IS NOW SUPPORTING THE MANAGEMENT OF PARKS AND EXPLORING NEW PRIVATE-LAND CONSERVATION APPROACHES TO PROTECT CRITICAL WILDLIFE HABITAT. A. IN SIMIEN MOUNTAINS NATIONAL PARK IN ETHIOPIA, HOME TO GELADA MONKEYS, ETHIOPIAN WOLF AND OTHER WILDLIFE, AWF TURNED TO ITS SIGNATURE STRATEGY: THE CLUSTER APPROACH. WE GROUP A VARIETY OF INTERVENTIONS IN THE SAME LANDSCAPE TO ADDRESS WILDLIFE PROTECTION AS WELL AS LIVELIHOOD AND EDUCATIONAL NEEDS. WE WORK WITH THE ETHIOPIAN WILDLIFE CONSERVATION AUTHORITY (EWCA) TO CO-MANAGE THE PARK, AND HELPED DEVELOP A PARK TOURISM PLAN AND TRAIN TREKKING GUIDES. AWF AND EWCA ALSO WORKED WITH THE COMMUNITY ON A STRATEGY TO REDUCE GRAZING IN THE PARK; ULTIMATELY, THE COMMUNITY DESIGNATED 70 PERCENT OF THE PARK AS A NO-GRAZING ZONE. AWF HAS PROVIDED FUNDING SUPPORT TO A LOCAL PARTNER THAT EDUCATES COMMUNITY MEMBERS AND RECRUITS PEOPLE TO BECOME WOLF AMBASSADORS WHO MONITOR THIS KEY PREDATOR'S ACTIVITY. THROUGH OUR FLAGSHIP CLASSROOM AFRICA PROGRAM, AWF REBUILT ADISGE PRIMARY SCHOOL, SITUATED JUST OUTSIDE THE PARK. CLASSROOM AFRICA BRINGS BRIGHT, AIRY, HIGH-QUALITY SCHOOLS, QUALIFIED TEACHERS AND CONSERVATION EDUCATION TO REMOTE COMMUNITIES. IN A BIG VICTORY, SIMIEN WAS REMOVED FROM THE LIST OF WORLD HERITAGE IN DANGER IN JULY 2017. B. THE LOMAKO LANDSCAPE IN THE DEMOCRATIC REPUBLIC OF CONGO (DRC) HOSTS WILDLIFE SUCH AS BONOBO, FOREST ELEPHANT AND GIANT PANGOLIN. WITHOUT SUSTAINABLE INCOME-GENERATING OPPORTUNITIES, RESIDENTS RELY ON FOREST RESOURCES FOR FOOD, FUEL AND SHELTER. AWF IMPLEMENTED AN ARRAY OF CONSERVATION PROJECTS HERE UNDER A CLUSTERING SCHEME. WE HELPED COMMUNITIES MAKE A LAND-USE PLAN ESTABLISHING TWO PROTECTED AREAS HARBORING BONOBO AND FOREST ELEPHANT. THANKS TO STRATEGIC PATROLS, BOTH RESERVES HAVE SEEN AN INCREASE IN WILDLIFE POPULATIONS. TO ADDRESS LIVELIHOOD NEEDS, AWF PROVIDED IMPROVED SEEDS AND TRAINING IN SUSTAINABLE AGRICULTURE TO MORE THAN 600 FARMERS. WE ALSO TRAINED LOCAL WOMEN IN SEWING AND SOAP-MAKING. AND, WE REBUILT ILIMA PRIMARY SCHOOL UNDER OUR CLASSROOM AFRICA UMBRELLA. MOST RECENTLY, AWF HELPED ILIMA AND SIX OTHER COMMUNITIES SECURE RIGHTS TO THE LAND THEY INHABIT; THEY ARE THE FIRST DRC COMMUNITIES TO RECEIVE FOREST CONCESSIONS UNDER A 2014 LAW ALLOWING COMMUNITIES TO APPLY FOR CONCESSIONS GRANTING FORMAL OWNERSHIP AND THE RIGHT TO DECIDE HOW TO USE THE LAND. COMMUNITIES MUST CHOOSE A SUSTAINABLE LAND USE THAT GENERATES INCOME - ARTISANAL LOGGING, FOR EXAMPLE. BUT THE ILIMA COMMUNITY DEVOTED ITS ENTIRE CONCESSION TO CONSERVATION-ABOUT 400 SQ. KM OF FOREST. C. IN PRIORITY HABITAT FOR CHIMPANZEES AND ELEPHANTS IN UGANDA, AWF HAS WORKED TO ACHIEVE SUSTAINABLE BIODIVERSITY CONSERVATION AND LOCAL ECONOMIC GROWTH IN FIVE PROTECTED AREAS IN UGANDA: MURCHISON FALLS NATIONAL PARK, KIDEPO VALLEY NATIONAL PARK, LAKE MBURO NATIONAL PARK AND KALINZU AND BUDONGO CENTRAL FOREST RESERVES. WITH FUNDING FROM THE U.S. AGENCY FOR INTERNATIONAL DEVELOPMENT, AWF UNDERTOOK A WIDE RANGE OF ACTIVITIES. MOST RECENTLY, WE SUPPORTED PROTECTED-AREA IMPROVEMENTS SUCH AS RENOVATION OF THE LAKE MBURO CONSERVATION EDUCATION CENTRE TO FACILITATE WATER HARVESTING. WE WORKED WITH COMMUNITIES TO IMPLEMENT AGRICULTURAL ACTIVITIES SET OUT IN THEIR LAND-USE PLANS, INCLUDING SELECTING DEMONSTRATION FARMS FOR TRAINING IN GROWING MAIZE, SORGHUM, CHILIS AND BEANS. AT MURCHISON FALLS, WE HELPED A NEW COMMUNITY CONSERVANCY DRAFT A CONSTITUTION. OTHER ACTIVITIES INCLUDED: CREATING WALKING TRAILS FOR ECOLOGICAL MONITORING AND TOURISM; PROVISION OF ROAD MAINTENANCE EQUIPMENT TO ENHANCE ECOLOGICAL MONITORING AND RESPONSE CAPACITY; AND TRAINING IN BEEKEEPING AS AN ALTERNATIVE INCOME SOURCE. WE ALSO SUPPORTED LOCAL FARMERS IN GROWING CHILIS AS A MEANS OF KEEPING ELEPHANTS OUT OF CROPS AND ALLEVIATING HUMAN-WILDLIFE CONFLICT. WILDLIFE PROTECTION: EVEN WHERE LAND AND HABITAT HAVE BEEN SECURED, CERTAIN SPECIES FACE UNIQUE THREATS AND REQUIRE A TARGETED CONSERVATION APPROACH. POPULATIONS OF RARE AND ENDANGERED SPECIES, SUCH AS THE RHINOCEROS, GORILLA AND ALL OF THE GREAT CATS, HAVE BEEN DIMINISHED DUE TO POACHING, DISEASE AND CONFLICT WITH HUMANS. AWF USES A NUMBER OF METHODS TO MONITOR AND PROTECT KEY POPULATIONS AND ENSURE THESE SPECIES SURVIVE AND THRIVE IN THEIR NATIVE HABITAT. ONE OF THESE TACTICS IS TO PROVIDE FUNDING TO PARTNERS ON THE GROUND THROUGH THE SPECIES PROTECTION GRANTS PROGRAM. THE PROGRAM OFFERS A WAY TO DIRECTLY COMBAT WILDLIFE TRAFFICKING AS IT FUNDS PROJECTS THAT HELP TO STOP THE KILLING AND STOP THE ILLEGAL TRADE IN AFRICAN WILDLIFE. A. IN HWANGE NATIONAL PARK IN ZIMBABWE AN ELUSIVE PREDATOR - THE ENDANGERED AFRICAN WILD DOG - FACES INCREASING PRESSURE FROM HABITAT FRAGMENTATION, HUMAN-WILDLIFE CONFLICT, AND, MOST URGENTLY, POACHING. POACHERS COMMONLY USE WIRE SNARES, WHICH KILL LARGER ANIMALS INDISCRIMINATELY. WILD DOGS ARE PARTICULARLY VULNERABLE BECAUSE THEY COVER A LOT OF GROUND WHILE HUNTING. IN ADDITION TO SNARES, POACHERS SOMETIMES POISON WATER SOURCES WITH CYANIDE. THEY ARE USUALLY TARGETING ELEPHANTS FOR IVORY BUT KILL A VARIETY OF OTHER SPECIES IN THE PROCESS. AWF FUNDS PAINTED DOG CONSERVATION (PDC), WHICH HAS AN ANTI-POACHING UNIT AND COMMUNITY OUTREACH CAMPAIGN APTLY NAMED "ZERO TOLERANCE TO WILDLIFE CRIME." ON AVERAGE, THE ANTI-POACHING PATROLS REMOVE MORE THAN 100 SNARES PER MONTH WHILE APPREHENDING POACHERS, DESTROYING POACHING CAMPS AND DISPOSING OF CYANIDE TRAPS. BETWEEN APRIL AND DECEMBER 2016, EIGHT POACHERS WERE ARRESTED, AND, IN AREAS WITH REGULAR GROUND PATROL PRESENCE, POACHING HAS DECLINED. LOCAL COMMUNITIES' ATTITUDES TOWARD WILD DOGS, MEANWHILE, ARE BECOMING MORE POSITIVE. MOST IMPORTANTLY, THE PAINTED DOG POPULATION IN HWANGE IS STABLE. THE POACHING HOTLINE HAS EVEN HELPED OTHER SPECIES: PEOPLE SOMETIMES CALL TO TIP OFF AUTHORITIES ABOUT PLANNED ELEPHANT POACHING ACTIVITIES. B. CANINES FOR CONSERVATION, THE DETECTION DOG PROGRAM, CONTINUES TO SEE REMARKABLE SUCCESS. DETECTION DOG UNITS TRAINED AND SUPPORTED BY AWF HAVE BEEN STATIONED AT AIRPORTS AND SEAPORTS IN UGANDA, KENYA AND TANZANIA. BY THE END OF 2017 MOZAMBIQUE AND BOTSWANA WILL ALSO HAVE DOG UNITS. SINCE THE PROGRAM STARTED, THE DETECTION DOG UNITS HAVE UNCOVERED MORE THAN 180 INCIDENTS OF HIDDEN IVORY, RHINO HORN, PANGOLIN SCALES OR OTHER ILLICIT WILDLIFE PRODUCTS, PRIMARILY AT ENTEBBE INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT IN UGANDA. THE TEAM AT JOMO KENYATTA INTERNATIONAL (JKIA) INTERCEPTED 18 PIECES OF RAW IVORY WORTH SH6.4 MILLION (ABOUT $62,000) IN TRANSIT FROM MAPUTO TO BANGKOK. IN JUNE, 500KGS OF PANGOLIN SCALES WERE INTERCEPTED AT JKIA. THE SKILLED DOGS CAN DETECT THE SMALLEST AMOUNT OF WILDLIFE CONTRABAND INCLUDING IVORY AND RHINO DUST. THIS YEAR SAW A SIGNIFICANT SUCCESS FOR THE CANINES PROGRAM WHEN UGANDAN PRESIDENT YOWERI MUSEVENI DIRECTED THAT SNIFFER DOGS AND HANDLERS CAN WORK THROUGHOUT THE AIRPORT, INCLUDING IN THE VIP SECTION. PREVIOUSLY, DOGS WERE CONFINED TO CHECK-IN AREAS, WHICH OBVIOUSLY HAMPERED THE TEAMS' EFFECTIVENESS. WHERE THEY ARE DEPLOYED, THE CANINES FOR CONSERVATION TEAMS HAVE SERVED AS EFFECTIVE DETERRENTS FOR THOSE THINKING ABOUT ENGAGING IN WILDLIFE TRAFFICKING. C. CONFISCATING CONTRABAND AND EVEN ARRESTING POACHERS IS ONLY PART OF THE BATTLE. PROSECUTING CRIMES IS NECESSARY TO DETER POACHING. TO SUPPORT EFFORTS IN PROSECUTING WILDLIFE TRAFFICKING CRIMES, AWF CONTINUED ITS JUDICIAL TRAINING WORKSHOPS IN A NUMBER OF LOCATIONS IN AFRICA THIS YEAR. THE WORKSHOPS TARGET PROSECUTORS, MAGISTRATES AND LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICIALS. ALONG WITH PARTNER SPACE FOR GIANTS, AWF IS DEVELOPING A RAPID-REFERENCE GUIDE FOR PROSECUTORS TO USE IN TRAFFICKING HEARINGS. IT LAYS OUT THE DOCUMENTS AND PROCEDURES NEEDED TO SUBMIT EVIDENCE GATHERED BY CANINE HANDLERS AND DISCUSSES HOW TO SUCCESSFULLY USE CANINE-HANDLER TESTIMONY. AWF HAS ALSO ANALYZED WILDLIFE LAWS IN KENYA, TANZANIA, ETHIOPIA AND UGANDA AND SYNTHESIZED THE FINDINGS IN A REPORT THAT SERVES AS A LAUNCH POINT FOR WORKSHOP DISCUSSIONS OF BEST PRACTICES AND CHALLENGES IN PROSECUTING WILDLIFE LAW.
FORM 990, PART III, LINE 4B:	IN RECENT YEARS, AWF HAS SUPPLEMENTED THESE EFFORTS WITH MORE POINTED ADVOCACY EFFORTS AIMED AT SENSITIZING AFRICAN POLITICAL LEADERS TO THE NEED TO CONSERVE WILDLIFE AND WILD LANDS TO ENSURE FUTURE AFRICAN VITALITY AND PROSPERITY. A. EACH YEAR, AWF HIRES A SMALL NUMBER OF RECENT MASTER'S DEGREE GRADUATES TO TAKE PART IN AN INTENSIVE 24-MONTH CONSERVATION MANAGEMENT TRAINING PROGRAM. OUR CONSERVATION LEADERSHIP AND MANAGEMENT PROGRAM IS NOW IN ITS SIXTH YEAR, WITH A NEW CLASS OF TRAINEES THAT STARTED IN AUGUST 2017. THE NEW CLASS INCLUDES THREE ASSOCIATES, FROM BENIN, MALAWI AND SOUTH AFRICA, WHO BEGAN THE TWO-YEAR PROGRAM AT OUR NAIROBI HEADQUARTERS AND WILL EVENTUALLY BE PLACED WITH AWF TEAMS IN THE FIELD OR AT HEADQUARTERS. THROUGH THE PROGRAM, AWF WORKS TO DEVELOP A CADRE OF CONSERVATION PROFESSIONALS SPECIFICALLY TRAINED TO TAKE ON THE PARTICULAR CHALLENGES OF AFRICAN CONSERVATION. WHERE POSSIBLE, AWF HIRES PROGRAM GRADUATES INTO LONG-TERM POSITIONS WITHIN THE ORGANIZATION. CLASS MEMBERS FROM TWO YEARS AGO GRADUATED THIS PAST JUNE AND HAVE ALL TRANSITIONED INTO ROLES WITHIN AWF. B. AWF'S CLASSROOM AFRICA INITIATIVE BUILDS LOCAL PRIMARY SCHOOLS IN RETURN FOR A SIGNIFICANT CONSERVATION COMMITMENT FROM THE COMMUNITY. CLASSROOM AFRICAN STUDENTS LEARN ABOUT ECOSYSTEMS AND WHY IT IS IMPERATIVE TO PROTECT WILDLIFE AND THE ENVIRONMENT FOR FUTURE GENERATIONS. IN THE SEKUTE COMMUNITY IN ZAMBIA, THE LUPANI COMMUNITY SCHOOL WAS BUILT AS AN INCENTIVE TO PROTECT ALMOST 50,000 ACRES OF CRITICAL ELEPHANT HABITAT. STUDENT ENROLLMENT TRIPLED AND THE SCHOOL HAS BECOME ONE OF THE REGION'S TOP PERFORMERS. CURRICULUM INCLUDES FIELD TRIPS, AND IN 2017 THE SEVENTH-GRADE CLASS JOURNEYED FROM THE POWERFUL AND SENSATIONAL VICTORIA FALLS TO MOSI-OA-TUNYA NATIONAL PARK, WHERE THEY SAW ZEBRA, GIRAFFE AND ELEPHANTS, MOST FOR THE FIRST TIME. IN THE DRC AT ILIMA CONSERVATION PRIMARY SCHOOL, ENVIRONMENTAL CLUBS PERFORM ECO-DRAMAS FOR THE COMMUNITY AND PLANT TREE NURSERIES TO AFFOREST OLD AGRICULTURAL LAND. THE COMMUNITY PARTICIPATES IN SUSTAINABLE FARMING THAT PROTECTS BONOBO HABITAT. IN THE SIMIEN MOUNTAINS IN ETHIOPIA, THE NEW ADISGE SCHOOL IS A POINT OF PRIDE FOR THE COMMUNITY; EVEN BETTER, NEIGHBORING COMMUNITIES HAVE EXPRESSED INTEREST IN HAVING THEIR OWN SCHOOLS. C. LATE IN 2016, AWF HIT A NEW MILE MARKER WHEN IT ENTERED INTO A PARTNERSHIP AGREEMENT WITH THE LEADING PAN-AFRICAN POLITICAL ORGANIZATION, THE AFRICAN UNION (AU). THIS AGREEMENT POSITIONS US TO OFFER THE AU AND ITS MEMBERS OUR TECHNICAL EXPERTISE AND CONSERVATION PERSPECTIVE BEFORE POLICIES ARE ENACTED THAT IMPACT WILDLIFE AND WILD LANDS. AWF ALSO IS A PRIMARY CONSERVATION ADVISOR TO THE COMMON MARKET FOR EASTERN AND SOUTHERN AFRICA, ALLOWING US TO INFLUENCE DEVELOPMENT DECISIONS WITHIN THIS REGIONAL TRADING BLOC. THIS YEAR AWF ALSO PARTNERED WITH THE ALLIANCE FOR A GREEN REVOLUTION IN AFRICA, WHICH WORKS TO LIFT SMALL-SCALE FARMERS AND THEIR FAMILIES OUT OF POVERTY THROUGH AGRICULTURAL TRANSFORMATION.
