FORM 990, PART III, LINE 4A: AWF PROVIDES CRITICAL ASSISTANCE TO NATIONAL PARKS AND RESERVES, PROMOTE INTERNATIONAL COOPERATION TO PROTECT IMPORTANT SITES AND POPULATIONS THAT STRETCH ACROSS NATIONAL BOUNDARIES-DEMONSTRATING THAT WILDLIFE AND PEOPLE CAN THRIVE SIDE BY SIDE. AWF WORK CAN BE CATEGORIZED INTO FOUR CORE AREAS: LAND AND HABITAT CONSERVATION, WILDLIFE PROTECTION, AND EDUCATION AND ADVOCACY. BELOW IS A BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF AWF PERSPECTIVE ON EACH CATEGORY AND KEY ACHIEVEMENTS WITHIN THE LAST FISCAL YEAR. I. LAND AND HABITAT CONSERVATION: AWF UNIQUE LARGE-LANDSCAPE APPROACH TO CONSERVATION FOCUSES ON IDENTIFYING AFRICA'S GREAT WILD SPACES, PIECING TOGETHER PARKS, PRIVATE LANDS, AND COMMUNITY LANDS, WHICH CAN BE SECURED AS A HOME FOR WILDLIFE. 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, INCLUDING LIMITED LAND ACQUISITION AND NEW TYPES OF CONSERVATION LEASES, TO PROTECT CRITICAL WILDLIFE HABITAT. A. IN BILI-UELE PROTECTED AREA COMPLEX IN THE DEMOCRATIC REPUBLIC OF THE CONGO, AWF HAS SIGNED A CO-MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT WITH ICCN, THE CONGOLESE WILDLIFE AUTHORITY, TO HELP PROTECT A CORE WILDLIFE AREA WITHIN THE PROTECTED AREA COMPLEX. OUR SUPPORT HAS INCLUDED RECRUITING AND TRAINING RANGERS IN PARAMILITARY PATROLS (WITH A SECURITY FIRM SPECIALIZING IN ANTI-TRAFFICKING PATROLS) AND ECOLOGICAL MONITORING. AWF ALSO RECENTLY PURCHASED A NUMBER OF MOBILE PATROL UNITS FOR USE IN THIS TROPICAL RAINFOREST ENVIRONMENT. THESE MOBILE UNITS ARE ESSENTIALLY ALL-TERRAIN VEHICLES THAT INCLUDE RADIO EQUIPMENT AND OTHER ANTI-POACHING EQUIPMENT--ALLOWING RANGERS TO MORE EASILY MOVE AROUND WITHIN THE DENSE RAINFOREST AND HAVE THE EQUIPMENT NEEDED TO EFFECTIVELY CONDUCT PATROLS. AT THE SAME TIME, AWF HAS ALSO CONDUCTED A BASELINE LARGE-MAMMAL BIODIVERSITY SURVEY IN THE CORE AREA OF BILI-UELE TO DETERMINE THE SPECIES COUNTS FOUND HERE. B. IN MANA POOLS NATIONAL PARK IN ZIMBABWE, AWF HAS ASSISTED IN THE BUILDING OF AN OPERATING BASE FOR A SPECIAL RAPID-RESPONSE UNIT AT THE PARK'S NYAKASIKANA GATE--A CENTRAL LOCATION WITHIN THE PARK THAT WOULD ALLOW THIS SPECIAL UNIT OF THE ZIMBABWE PARKS AND WILDLIFE MANAGEMENT AUTHORITY (ZPWMA) TO READILY RESPOND TO POACHING INCIDENTS WITHIN THE ENTIRETY OF THE LOWER ZAMBEZI VALLEY (NOT JUST MANA POOLS). AWF ALSO WORKED WITH ZPWMA TO LOCATE AND HIRE A TECHNICAL ADVISOR. SIMON MUCHATIBAYA IS AN EXPERIENCED, ACCOMPLISHED ZPWMA RANGER WHO IS BEING SECONDED TO AWF TO WORK AS AN AWF LIAISON WITH ZPWMA AND ESSENTIALLY PROVIDE ADDITIONAL ANTI-POACHING AND OTHER SUPPORT TO THE RESOURCE-STRAPPED WILDLIFE AUTHORITY. C. AWF CONTINUES TO ADD TO THE BODY OF KNOWLEDGE AROUND PROTECTED AREAS AND PROTECTED AREA MANAGEMENT, MOST RECENTLY WITH A COMPILATION IT PUT TOGETHER OF CONSERVANCY BEST PRACTICES. THIS WAS DEVELOPED AS THE RESULT OF A CONSERVANCY'S WORKSHOP THAT AWF HOSTED EARLIER IN THE YEAR. THE WORKSHOP DREW TOGETHER CONSERVANCY MANAGERS AND EXPERTS FROM 10 COUNTRIES IN SOUTHERN AND EAST AFRICA: BOTSWANA, NAMIBIA, ZIMBABWE, ZAMBIA, MOZAMBIQUE, SOUTH AFRICA, KENYA, TANZANIA, UGANDA AND ETHIOPIA. DISCUSSIONS COVERED MECHANISMS AND PROCESSES FOR ESTABLISHMENT, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT OF CONSERVANCIES, AND POLICY FRAMEWORKS THAT ARE SUPPORTIVE OF CONSERVANCY DEVELOPMENT. 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 IN PARTICULAR, AS IT FUNDS PROJECTS IN VARIOUS AREAS THAT HELP TO STOP THE KILLING AND STOP THE TRAFFICKING OF AFRICAN WILDLIFE. A. IN SOUTHERN AFRICA, AWF SUPPORT OF VARIOUS RHINO PROTECTION PROJECTS HAS RESULTED IN A NUMBER OF OUR GRANTEES SEEING THEIR RHINO POPULATIONS REMAIN STABLE, OR EVEN RISE. IN SAVE VALLEY CONSERVANCY IN ZIMBABWE, AWF'S SPECIES PROTECTION GRANTS HAS ENABLED THE DEVELOPMENT OF INTELLIGENCE NETWORKS IN THE CONSERVANCY. THIS RESULTED IN THE ARREST LATE LAST YEAR OF A WELL-KNOWN POACHING MIDDLE-MAN AND A FIELD MASTERMIND. BOTH WERE SENTENCED TO 35 YEARS IN PRISON AFTER PLEADING GUILTY TO THREE COUNTS OF RHINO POACHING. MEANWHILE, AT SABI SAND WILDTUIN IN SOUTH AFRICA, WHERE AWF HAS BEEN SUPPORTING ANTI-POACHING EFFORTS THROUGH THE FUNDING OF A HELICOPTER AS WELL AS CONTINUED FUNDING OF OTHER ANTI-POACHING EFFORTS, THE RESERVE IS WORKING WITH NEIGHBORING RESERVES AND THE KRUGER NATIONAL PARK ON AN INITIATIVE, THE GREATER KRUGER ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION FOUNDATION, WHICH ENABLES INFORMATION-SHARING AND JOINT OPERATIONS AS NEEDED BETWEEN THESE ANTI-POACHING UNITS. B. AWF DETECTION DOG PROGRAM, CANINES FOR CONSERVATION, CONTINUES TO SEE SIGNIFICANT SUCCESS. DETECTION DOG UNITS TRAINED AND SUPPORTED BY AWF HAVE BEEN STATIONED AT AIRPORTS AND SEAPORTS IN KENYA (NAIROBI AND MOMBASA) AND TANZANIA (DAR ES SALAAM). BETWEEN JANUARY AND SEPTEMBER 2016, THE DETECTION DOG UNITS HAVE UNCOVERED AT LEAST 26 INCIDENTS OF HIDDEN IVORY, PANGOLIN SCALES OR OTHER ILLICIT WILDLIFE PRODUCTS, PRIMARILY AT JOMO KENYATTA INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT IN NAIROBI, A PRIME TRAFFICKING HUB. IN TANZANIA, THE UNITS HAVE SERVED AS A VISIBLE DETERRENT FOR THOSE THINKING ABOUT ENGAGING IN WILDLIFE TRAFFICKING. TO CONTINUE TO EXPAND THIS INITIATIVE, AWF ALSO TRAINED A NEW CLASS OF DETECTION DOGS AND HANDLERS THIS YEAR. THE HANDLERS WERE CHOSEN FROM, AND IN PARTNERSHIP WITH, THE UGANDA WILDLIFE AUTHORITY. UPON THEIR GRADUATION EARLIER THIS YEAR, THE NEARLY DOZEN HANDLERS AND THEIR CANINE PARTNERS HAVE BEEN DEPLOYED TO TRAFFICKING HOTSPOTS IN UGANDA. AWF CONTINUES TO WORK CLOSELY WITH THE WILDLIFE AUTHORITY TO ENHANCE DETECTION CAPABILITY IN THE COUNTRY. C. TO SUPPORT EFFORTS IN PROSECUTING WILDLIFE TRAFFICKING CRIMES, AWF CONTINUED ITS JUDICIAL TRAINING WORKSHOPS IN A NUMBER OF LOCATIONS IN AFRICA THIS YEAR. MOST NOTABLE AMONGST THESE WAS A REGIONAL EAST AFRICAN WORKSHOP THAT AWF HOSTED WITH KENYA'S OFFICE OF THE DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC PROSECUTIONS. THE WORKSHOP GATHERED PROSECUTORS, MAGISTRATES, AND LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICIALS FROM BURUNDI, THE DEMOCRATIC REPUBLIC OF THE CONGO, ETHIOPIA, KENYA, TANZANIA AND UGANDA. AHEAD OF THE WORKSHOP, AWF ALSO EVALUATED THE WILDLIFE LAWS IN KENYA, TANZANIA, ETHIOPIA AND UGANDA AND PUT TOGETHER A REPORT OF THE FINDINGS--ALLOWING FOR ATTENDEES TO HAVE A BASIS FROM WHICH TO DISCUSS BEST PRACTICES AND CHALLENGES IN PROSECUTING THE WILDLIFE LAW. THE TRAININGS ARE CONTINUING WITH A JUDICIAL TRAINING SCHEDULED IN ETHIOPIA IN NOVEMBER. 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 ON THE NEED TO CONSERVE WILDLIFE AND WILD LANDS TO ENSURE FUTURE AFRICAN VITALITY AND PROSPERITY. A. AWF CONSERVATION MANAGEMENT TRAINING PROGRAM, THE CONSERVATION MANAGEMENT & LEADERSHIP PROGRAM, IS NOW IN ITS FIFTH YEAR, WITH A NEW CLASS OF TRAINEES THAT STARTED IN AUGUST 2016. THE NEW CLASS INCLUDES 3 ASSOCIATES, FROM KENYA, THE DEMOCRATIC REPUBLIC OF THE CONGO AND ETHIOPIA, WHO HAVE BEEN WORKING OUT OF AWF HEADQUARTERS FOR THE PAST FEW MONTHS. THEY WILL BE PLACED IN FIELD ASSIGNMENTS IN JANUARY. THE CLASS FROM TWO YEARS AGO ALSO GRADUATED THIS PAST JUNE, AND THE GRADUATES HAVE SINCE DISPERSED TO UNDERTAKE CONSERVATION ASSIGNMENTS ACROSS THE CONTINENT. (ONE WAS HIRED BY AWF SPECIES TEAM.) THE CLASS THAT BEGAN LAST YEAR CONTINUES TO ASSIST WITH AWF PROGRAM EFFORTS, WITH ONE BASED IN THE FIELD IN ZIMBABWE AND THE REMAINING TWO WORKING WITH THE MONITORING & EVALUATION AND LAND TEAMS AT HEADQUARTERS, RESPECTIVELY. B. OUR CONSERVATION SCHOOLS PROGRAM, CLASSROOM AFRICA, CONTINUES TO GROW AND MATURE. THE MOST RECENT PRIMARY SCHOOL CONSTRUCTION, IN THE SIMIEN MOUNTAINS IN ETHIOPIA, IS NEARING COMPLETION. A CAMPUS EXPANSION OF AN EXISTING AWF -SUPPORTED SCHOOL, LUPANI PRIMARY SCHOOL IN ZAMBIA, WAS FINISHED EARLIER THIS YEAR TO RAVE REVIEWS FROM STUDENTS, TEACHERS, COMMUNITY MEMBERS AND RELATED DISTRICT AND NATIONAL EDUCATION ENTITIES WITHIN THE ZAMBIAN GOVERNMENT. AWF CONTINUES WITH ITS SUPPORT FOR TEACHERS AND CONSERVATION EDUCATION, HAVING ORGANIZED TEACHER TRAININGS AT AN EXISTING AWF-SUPPORTED SCHOOL, ILIMA PRIMARY SCHOOL IN DEMOCRATIC REPUBLIC OF THE CONGO, AS WELL AS AT LUPANI SCHOOL. THANKS TO CONTINUED AWF SUPPORT AT THESE SCHOOLS, IN FACT, STUDENT GRADUATION RATES AND TEACHER QUALITY IS INCREASING. FOR THE FIRST TIME THIS YEAR, A COUPLE OF GRADUATES FROM ILIMA PRIMARY SCHOOL HAVE MOVED ON TO ATTEND SECONDARY SCHOOL (WHERE THEY ARE AMONGST THE BEST IN THEIR CLASS). MEANWHILE, TWO TEACHERS AT LUPANI SCHOOL HAVE BEEN RECOGNIZED WITH DISTRICT AWARDS FOR TEACHING. C. AWF ELECTED AN AFRICAN PRESIDENT IN LATE 2015 TO SPEARHEAD MORE ACTIVE ADVOCACY EFFORTS WITHIN THE AFRICAN CONTINENT, PARTICULARLY WITH AFRICAN ELECTED LEADERS. THIS MOVE IS PAYING OFF, WITH SEVERAL SIGNIFICANT MEETINGS HAVING BEEN ARRANGED BY AWF PRESIDENT, INCLUDING MEETINGS AT THE AFRICAN UNION HEADS OF STATE MEETING IN RWANDA. FURTHER, AT THE GLOBAL AFRICAN INVESTMENT SUMMIT IN RWANDA IN SEPTEMBER, AWF ALSO SIGNED AN MOU TO BECOME A PRIMARY CONSERVATION ADVISOR TO THE REGIONAL ECONOMIC BODY, THE COMMON MARKET FOR EASTERN AND SOUTHERN AFRICA (COMESA). THIS IS ALLOWING AWF TO DIRECTLY ENGAGE WITH, AND IMPACT, DEVELOPMENT DECISIONS BEING DECIDED WITHIN THIS REGIONAL TRADING BLOC AND ENSURE A SUFFICIENT CONSERVATION ANGLE IS MAINTAINED FOR THE BETTERMENT OF THE CONTINENT'S POPULACE. FORM 990, PART VI, SECTION A, LINE 4 FOR THE YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2016, AWF AMENDED THE BYLAWS TO REFLECT UPDATED POLICIES IN THE COMPOSITION OF THE GOVERNING BODY'S VOTING MEMBERS AND NUMBER AND COMPOSITION OF OFFICERS.

CHANGES ARE COMMUNICATED TO THE TAX ACCOUNTANTS AS NECESSARY AND APPROPRIATE. THE FINAL DRAFT IS REVIEWED BY THE VP OF F&A AND THE CHIEF OPERATING OFFICER (COO) BEFORE BEING PRESENTED TO THE AUDIT COMMITTEE. THEREAFTER, A COPY OF THE FINAL DRAFT 990 IS PROVIDED TO THE FULL BOARD OF TRUSTEES BEFORE FILING WITH THE INTERNAL REVENUE SERVICE. FORM 990, PART VI, SECTION B, LINE 12C TRUSTEES AND OFFICERS RECEIVE AND SIGN A CONFLICT OF INTEREST POLICY STATEMENT UPON ELECTION TO THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES, WITH NEW FORMS COMPLETED AT LEAST ANNUALLY. IF A TRUSTEE FEELS SHE/HE MAY HAVE A POTENTIAL CONFLICT OF INTEREST WITH AWF, THESE CONCERNS ARE BROUGHT TO THE ATTENTION OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES' CHAIR AND/OR AUDIT COMMITTEE OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES' FOR DELIBERATION. ALL STAFF MEMBERS ARE REQUIRED TO SIGN A CONFLICT OF INTEREST POLICY UPON HIRING AND WITH EACH NEW CONTRACT AMENDMENT. STAFF CONCERNS REGARDING CONFLICTS OF INTEREST ARE BROUGHT TO THE HUMAN RESOURCES DEPARTMENT FOR RESEARCH WITH REVIEW BY THE VP OF F&A AND OTHER MEMBERS OF EXECUTIVE MANAGEMENT AS NECESSARY. WITH REGARD TO CONTRACT REVIEW, THE STAFF THAT REVIEW PURCHASES AND CONTRACTS ARE TRAINED TO QUESTION POTENTIAL CONFLICTS OF INTEREST. LOCAL FINANCE OFFICES REVIEW TRANSACTIONS UP TO $1,000, WITH ADDITIONAL SCRUTINY GIVEN TO LARGER CONTRACTS. ANY POTENTIAL CONFLICTS OF INTEREST ARE FORWARDED TO THE VP-F&A AND/OR COO FOR REVIEW. FORM 990, PART VI, SECTION B, LINE 15 A COMPENSATION STUDY FOR OFFICERS AND KEY EMPLOYEES IS CONDUCTED ANNUALLY. FOR ALL OFFICERS AND KEY STAFF LOCATED WITHIN THE UNITED STATES, INFORMATION FROM COMPARABLE ORGANIZATIONS IS COLLECTED THROUGH PUBLICLY AVAILABLE FEDERAL FORM 990S.
