AT THE CORE OF AWF'S WORK IS THE BELIEF THAT INVESTING IN TRAINING AND RESOURCES FOR AFRICAN INDIVIDUALS AND INSTITUTIONS IS CRITICAL TO ACHIEVING CONSERVATION SUCCESS. THIS APPROACH HAS HELPED AWF SIGNIFICANTLY INCREASE SCIENTIFIC UNDERSTANDING OF AFRICA'S ECOSYSTEMS THROUGH RESEARCH AND APPLY THESE FINDINGS TO REAL-LIFE CONSERVATION EFFORTS. AWF CONTINUES TO PIONEER THE USE OF COMMUNITY CONSERVATION ENTERPRISES, PROVIDE CRITICAL ASSISTANCE TO NATIONAL PARKS AND RESERVES, AND PROMOTE INTERNATIONAL COOPERATION TO PROTECT IMPORTANT SITES AND (SEE CONTINUATION ON SCHEDULE O) 1299315 428716 OUTREACH AND EDUCATION PROGRAMS: AWF BELIEVES THAT A CONTINENT AS UNIQUE AS AFRICA REQUIRES A UNIQUE APPROACH TO CONSERVATION. IT IS SIMPLY NOT ENOUGH TO DEVELOP INITIATIVES TO PROTECT SINGLE SPECIES OR CONSERVE INDIVIDUAL PIECES OF LAND. AWF THEREFORE TAKES A "LANDSCAPE-LEVEL" APPROACH TO ITS CONSERVATION SOLUTIONS INCORPORATING A VARIETY OF EFFORTS INCLUDING CONSERVING LAND, PROTECTING SPECIES, AND EMPOWERING PEOPLE THROUGH ITS UNIQUE AFRICAN HEARTLANDS PROGRAM. THROUGH ITS PROGRAMS, AWF EDUCATES A WIDE VARIETY OF AUDIENCES ABOUT HOW SUSTAINABLE CONSERVATION IN AFRICA MEANS UNDERSTANDING HOW PEOPLE AND WILDLIFE LIVE TOGETHER, AS WELL AS HOW THEY CLASH. AWF ALSO BRINGS TO LIGHT HOW THE WELL BEING OF LOCAL PEOPLE AFFECTS CONSERVATION EFFORTS.

A DONOR, AWF HAS A POLICY TO SPEND FIVE PERCENT OF THESE ENDOWMENT FUNDS' AVERAGE BEGINNING INVESTED MARKET VALUES FOR THE PRIOR THREE FISCAL YEARS. HOWEVER, A FUND'S SPENDING RATE IS REDUCED OR ELIMINATED IF THE RESULTING INVESTED BALANCE OF THAT FUND WOULD FALL BELOW THE FAIR VALUE OF THE ORIGINAL GIFT(S). IN ESTABLISHING THIS POLICY, AWF CONSIDERED ITS STATED RETURN OBJECTIVE WITH THE INTENT TO, OVER THE LONG TERM, ALLOW ITS ENDOWMENT FUNDS TO GROW AT OR ABOVE THAT OF INFLATION. THIS IS CONSISTENT WITH THE ORGANIZATION'S OBJECTIVE TO MAINTAIN THE PURCHASING POWER OF THE ENDOWMENT FUNDS' ASSETS HELD IN PERPETUITY OR FOR A SPECIFIED TERM, AS WELL AS TO PROVIDE ADDITIONAL REAL GROWTH THROUGH NEW GIFTS AND INVESTMENT RETURN. THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES HAS ADOPTED A SPENDING POLICY TO USE OF UP TO SEVEN PERCENT OF THE BEGINNING INVESTED MARKET VALUE OF THE BOARD-DESIGNATED ENDOWMENT IN CURRENT YEAR OPERATIONS, OR A LOWER AMOUNT AS AGREED THROUGH AWF'S ANNUAL BUDGETING PROCESS. THIS SPENDING POLICY TAKES INTO ACCOUNT THE BOARD OF TRUSTEE'S POLICY TO ADD UNRESTRICTED LEGACY GIFTS TO THE BOARD-DESIGNATED ENDOWMENT. THE FUNDS ARE USED TO FURTHER THE IMPACT OF AWF'S CONSERVATION PROGRAMS.

AWF'S WORK CAN BE CATEGORIZED INTO FIVE CORE AREAS: LAND AND HABITAT PROTECTION, CONSERVATION SCIENCE, CONSERVATION ENTERPRISE, EDUCATION AND CAPACITY BUILDING, AND CONSERVATION POLICY. BELOW IS A BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF AWF'S PERSPECTIVE ON EACH CATEGORY AND KEY ACHIEVEMENTS WITHIN THE LAST FISCAL YEAR. A. LAND AND HABITAT PROTECTION: AWF'S UNIQUE HEARTLAND 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. I. AWF NEGOTIATED A GROUPBREAKING LAND EASEMENT PLAN WITH A PRIVATE LANDOWNER: OVER THE COURSE OF MORE THAN A YEAR, AWF WORKED WITH A PRIVATE LANDOWNER IN KENYA WHO OWNED LAND OUTSIDE OF NAIROBI NATIONAL PARK TO DEVELOP AND SIGN AN EASEMENT AGREEMENT. THE AGREEMENT, THE FIRST EVER IN KENYA, ALLOWS THE LANDOWNER TO RETAIN OWNERSHIP OF HIS LAND BUT RESTRICTS USES OF THE LAND TO ENSURE THAT IT REMAINS OPEN FOR WILDLIFE COMING OUT OF NAIROBI NATIONAL PARK, SINCE THE PARK ITSELF IS TOO SMALL TO ABLY SUPPORT THE WILDLIFE THAT LIVE THERE. THE EASEMENT PROVIDES AN EXAMPLE FOR OTHER LANDOWNERS IN HOW THEY, TOO, CAN CONTRIBUTE TO THE CONSERVATION OF WILDLIFE AND ECOSYSTEMS. II. AWF GIFTED LAND TO THE KENYAN GOVERNMENT FOR THE FUTURE CREATION OF A NATIONAL PARK: ELAND DOWNS WAS A PRIVATELY OWNED, RUN-DOWN PROPERTY IN AWF'S SAMBURU HEARTLAND. AWF NEGOTIATED TO PURCHASE THE LAND, A CRITICAL PIECE OF A LARGE WILDLIFE CORRIDOR FOR THE LARGE POPULATION OF ELEPHANTS (AND OTHER WILDLIFE) FOUND IN THE REGION, THEN PROMPTLY TURNED AROUND AND DONATED THE LAND TO THE KENYAN GOVERNMENT FOR THE FUTURE ENJOYMENT OF THE KENYAN PEOPLE. AGREEMENTS WITH KENYA WILDLIFE SERVICE HAVE ALREADY BEEN ESTABLISHED TO ENSURE THE LAND WILL BE USED TO CREATE KENYA'S FIRST NATIONAL PARK IN SOME 20-30 YEARS, AND AWF CONTINUES TO WORK WITH KWS AND OTHER PARTNERS IN THE REGION TO ENSURE THE ECOLOGICAL INTEGRITY OF THE LAND WILL NOT BE COMPROMISED. III. AWF WORKED WITH COMMUNITIES TO ESTABLISH RESERVES: AFTER SEEING THE ECONOMIC BENEFITS THAT THE LOMAKO-YOKOKALA COMMUNITY IN THE DEMOCRATIC REPUBLIC OF CONGO ACCRUED FROM THE ESTABLISHMENT OF A FAUNAL RESERVE THERE, THE IYONDJI COMMUNITY IN AWF'S CONGO HEARTLAND APPROACHED AWF AND ITS PARTNERS TO CREATE ITS OWN RESERVE. THE RESULT WAS THE GAZETTEMENT THIS PAST YEAR OF THE IYONDJI COMMUNITY BONOBO RESERVE BY THE CONGOLESE GOVERNMENT. IV. AWF REMAINED A LEADER IN GIS AND MAPPING TECHNOLOGY: FOR EXAMPLE, AWF PARTNERED WITH THE UNIVERSITY OF MARYLAND TO HELP COMMUNITIES IN AWF'S CONGO HEARTLAND IN THE DEMOCRATIC REPUBLIC OF CONGO TO DETERMINE AREAS OF FOREST AND AREAS OF AGRICULTURE AND CREATE LAND-USE PLANS THAT HAVE BEEN AGREED-UPON WITH THE COMMUNITIES. THE SATELLITE WORK AND THE LAND-USE PLANNING WAS HAILED A MODEL FOR THE CONGOLESE GOVERNMENT TO IMPLEMENT IN OTHER COMMUNITIES. AWF CONTINUES TO USE GIS AND MAPPING TECHNOLOGY TO DETERMINE APPROPRIATE WILDLIFE CORRIDORS ACROSS MANY OF OUR HEARTLANDS AND HELP IDENTIFY POTENTIAL NEW PROJECT SITES. B. CONSERVATION SCIENCE: 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 RESEARCH TO CREATE A BASELINE UNDERSTANDING OF THE STATUS OF AN ENDANGERED POPULATION, AND THEN MOVES QUICKLY TO CONSERVATION ACTIONS THAT HELP THESE SPECIES SURVIVE AND THRIVE IN THEIR NATIVE HABITAT. I. IN CENTRAL AFRICA, AWF SUPPORTED A MOUNTAIN GORILLA CENSUS IN BWINDI IMPENETRABLE NATIONAL PARK: THE CENSUS IS VITALLY IMPORTANT IN UNDERSTANDING THE LONG-TERM VIABILITY OF THE SPECIES. THE LAST CENSUS OF THE BWINDI-SARAMBWE MOUNTAIN GORILLA POPULATION, CONDUCTED IN 2006, YIELDED 302 GENETICALLY UNIQUE INDIVIDUALS, AND THIS CENSUS WAS CONDUCTED TO UPDATE THOSE NUMBERS AND ADD TO THE OVERALL CONSERVATION PLANNING FOR THE ENTIRE MOUNTAIN GORILLA POPULATION LIVING IN CENTRAL AFRICA. IN PARTNERSHIP WITH THE INTERNATIONAL GORILLA CONSERVATION PROGRAMME (IGCP), A COALITION OF AFRICAN WILDLIFE FOUNDATION, FAUNA & FLORA INTERNATIONAL, AND THE WORLD WIDE FUND FOR NATURE, THE CENSUS ITSELF WAS AN EXERCISE IN COLLABORATION. SIX MIXED TEAMS OF VOLUNTEERS AND COALITION STAFF FROM DRC, RWANDA, AND UGANDA COVERED THE PARK AND METICULOUSLY DOCUMENTED FRESH SIGNS OF MOUNTAIN GORILLA GROUPS. GENETIC ANALYSIS OF FECAL SAMPLES COLLECTED WERE ANALYZED TO IDENTIFY AND CORRECT FOR ANY DOUBLE-COUNTING OF INDIVIDUALS OR GROUPS, ENSURING THE MOST ACCURATE ESTIMATE FOR THE POPULATION. II. IN WEST AFRICA, AWF DRILLED BOREHOLES AS PART OF LONGER-TERM SPECIES SUPPORT IN THE REGION: THE SAHELIAN ECOSYSTEM SPANNING BENIN, BURKINA FASO, AND NIGER, WHERE AWF HAS ITS REGIONAL PARC W HEARTLAND, HAS ONE OF THE LARGEST POPULATIONS OF ELEPHANTS IN WEST AFRICA, A SIGNIFICANT CARNIVORE POPULATION IN WEST AFRICA, AS WELL AS THE ONLY POPULATION OF THE ENDANGERED WEST AFRICAN GIRAFFE. UNFORTUNATELY, THE INTENSITY OF DROUGHT IN THE REGION RESULTED IN A RAINY SEASON THAT WAS MUCH SHORTER THAN ANTICIPATED, AND WILDLIFE WAS HAVING DIFFICULTY ACCESSING WATER. AWF THEREFORE WORKED WITH PARK AUTHORITIES IN THE REGION TO DRILL A NUMBER OF NEW OR MALFUNCTIONING BOREHOLES TO PROVIDE READY WATER TO TIDE WILDLIFE OVER UNTIL THE START OF THE NEXT RAINY SEASON. THIS IS THE START OF MORE COHESIVE SPECIES SUPPORT WORK IN THE REGION, INCLUDING ELEPHANT AND GIRAFFE MONITORING EFFORTS THAT AWF HAS RECENTLY EMBARKED UPON. III. IN EAST AFRICA, AWF PARTICIPATED IN A CROSS-BORDER LARGE CARNIVORE CENSUS: IN THE KILIMANJARO HEARTLAND, SPANNING THE BORDER BETWEEN KENYA AND TANZANIA, LARGE CARNIVORES ARE UNDER THREAT FROM THE INCREASE IN HUMAN POPULATION IN THE AREA. THIS, COMBINED WITH THE PASTORALIST LIFESTYLE LARGELY PRACTICED IN THE REGION, WHEREIN PEOPLE KEEP A GREAT NUMBER OF LIVESTOCK JUST OUTSIDE OF NATIONAL PARKS, HAS INCREASED THE PROPENSITY FOR HUMAN-CARNIVORE CONFLICT. IN CASES WHERE CARNIVORES ATTACK LIVESTOCK, PASTORALIST COMMUNITIES ENGAGE IN RETALIATORY KILLINGS, WHICH HAS DECREASED THE LION AND OTHER CARNIVORE POPULATIONS THERE. AWF WORKED WITH PERSONNEL FROM KENYA WILDLIFE SERVICE AND THE TANZANIAN NATIONAL PARKS AUTHORITY ON THE REGION'S FIRST-EVER CROSS-BORDER LARGE-CARNIVORE CENSUS, TO GATHER SUFFICIENT DATA ON THE STATE OF THE LARGE CARNIVORE POPULATION THERE AND HELP DETERMINE THE CONSERVATION PLANNING OF CARNIVORES IN THE REGION. C. CONSERVATION ENTERPRISE: AWF BELIEVES THAT AFRICA'S WILDLIFE AND WILD LANDS CAN ONLY BE TRULY SECURE WHEN CONSERVATION OPERATIONS HAVE A SOUND FINANCIAL BASIS, AND WHEN ECONOMIC INCENTIVES EXIST FOR LOCAL PEOPLE TO HELP CONSERVE NATURAL SYSTEMS. OVER THE PAST SEVERAL YEARS, AWF HAS WORKED WITH PRIVATE SECTOR PARTNERS TO CREATE CUTTING-EDGE EXAMPLES OF CONSERVATION TOURISM PRODUCTS THAT INCLUDE EQUITY HOLDINGS AND OTHER INCENTIVES FOR LOCAL PEOPLE TO CONSERVE WILDLIFE AND ITS HABITAT. AWF IS CURRENTLY EXPANDING OUR EMPHASIS ON AGRICULTURE, LIVESTOCK, AND FISHERIES AS SMALL BUSINESSES THAT SUPPORT HUMAN NEEDS WHILE REDUCING RELIANCE ON THE EXPLOITATION OF WILDLIFE RESOURCES. I. AWF ESTABLISHED A FISHERY IN SOUTHERN AFRICA: THE ZAMBEZI RIVER IS THE SOURCE OF LIVELIHOOD FOR MANY RESIDENTS IN SOUTHERN ZAMBIA IN AWF'S KAZUNGULA HEARTLAND. UNFORTUNATELY, OVERPOPULATION AND OVERFISHING HAD RESULTED IN A DECREASE IN THE RIVER'S FISH POPULATION. AWF THEREFORE BUILT AN INTEGRATED FISH FARM THAT ALSO INCORPORATED POULTRY FARMING, WHEREIN WASTE FROM THE POULTRY WOULD HELP PROVIDE FEED FOR THE FISH GROWING IN THE FISHERY. SINCE FINISHING THE INITIAL PONDS, THE INYAMBO FISH FARM HAS ALREADY REACHED A NUMBER OF MILESTONES, INCLUDING THE RELEASE OF 50,000 FINGERLINGS INTO THE RIVER. THE FARM IS BEING HAILED AS A MODEL FISH FARM, AND OFFICIALS FROM THE GOVERNMENT FISH FARMS HAVE EVEN VISITED TO TAKE NOTES ABOUT HOW BETTER TO OPERATE ITS OWN FISHERIES. BEST OF ALL, THE FISH FARM HAS PROVIDED THE COMMUNITY WITH READY ACCESS TO A SOURCE OF PROTEIN IN THEIR DIETS AS WELL AS A LONG-TERM LIVELIHOOD OPTION. II. AWF PROVIDED FUNDING TOWARD NEW WORK IN ETHIOPIA: ETHIOPIA IS ALREADY A CULTURAL TOURIST ATTRACTION BUT IT ALSO HAS A SIGNIFICANT WILDLIFE POPULATION ON ITS RICH AND VARIED WILD LANDS. UNFORTUNATELY, THE WILDLIFE AUTHORITY LACKS SUFFICIENT RESOURCES TO HELP PROTECT ITS NATIONAL PARKS AND BUILD THEM INTO ECOTOURIST ATTRACTIONS. AWF THEREFORE PROVIDED FUNDING TO DEVELOP TREKKING TRAILS IN AND AROUND SIMIENS NATIONAL PARK. THE TRAILS, TO BE ESTABLISHED IN PARTS OF THE PARK THAT WILL ATTRACT TOURISM BUT PREVENT DESTRUCTION OF THE PARK'S NATURAL HABITAT, NOT ONLY WILL PROVIDE READY INCOME TO THE PARK AND SURROUNDING COMMUNITIES BUT WILL HELP KEEP TREKKERS SAFE ON THEIR JOURNEYS. D. EDUCATION AND CAPACITY BUILDING: AWF WAS FOUNDED ON THE BELIEF THAT CONSERVATION EFFORTS MUST ULTIMATELY REST IN THE HANDS OF THE PEOPLE OF AFRICA WHO, WITH EDUCATIONAL SUPPORT, WILL CONSTRUCT A VIABLE PLATFORM TO CONSERVE THE CONTINENT'S WILDLIFE HERITAGE. OVER THE PAST DECADES, AWF HAS SPONSORED HUNDREDS OF YOUNG AFRICAN CONSERVATIONISTS TO STUDY WILDLIFE MANAGEMENT AND TO ACQUIRE HIGHER DEGREES IN CONSERVATION-RELATED FIELDS. BEYOND FORMAL EDUCATION, AWF WORKS TO TRAIN LOCAL PEOPLE AND BUILD THE CAPACITY OF AFRICAN INSTITUTIONS TO PROTECT AND MANAGE WILDLIFE. I. AWF LAUNCHED ITS CONSERVATION MANAGEMENT TRAINING PROGRAM: AWF WENT BACK TO ITS ROOTS IN CAPACITY BUILDING THIS YEAR TO LAUNCH THE CONSERVATION MANAGEMENT TRAINING PROGRAM (CMTP), A HIGH-LEVEL INTERNSHIP AND MENTORING PROGRAM FOR MASTER'S GRADUATES WHO HAVE AN INTEREST IN DEVELOPING THEIR PRACTICAL CONSERVATION KNOWLEDGE. TRAINEES IN THE PROGRAM ARE IMMERSED IN AWF'S PROGRAMS, POLICIES AND PROJECT WORK FOR 24 MONTHS, DURING WHICH TIME THEY GET EXPOSURE TO MANY ASPECTS OF THE ORGANIZATION'S WORK. THE FIRST CLASS OF TRAINEES RECENTLY STARTED WITH THE PROGRAM. II. AWF ESTABLISHED AN IT LAB AT MANYARA RANCH SCHOOL: IN TANZANIA, SCHOOL COMPUTER LABS ARE A RARITY-BUT FOR KIDS OVER TO BE ABLE TO COMPETE IN THIS INCREASINGLY GLOBAL AND TECHNOLOGICALLY SAVVY WORLD, THEY MUST HAVE OPPORTUNITIES TO LEARN ON A COMPUTER. AWF THEREFORE BUILT A STATE-OF-THE-ART IT LAB AT ITS FLAGSHIP MANYARA RANCH SCHOOL, COMPLETE WITH A COUPLE OF DOZEN HIGH-END HP DESKTOP COMPUTERS, KEYBOARDS AND MICE. A PRINTER AND PROJECTOR HELP ENSURE THAT TEACHERS CAN APPROPRIATELY LEAD THEIR STUDENTS IN COMPUTER USE. AWF PROVIDED IN-DEPTH TRAINING TO TEACHERS ON COMPUTER USE, AND FURTHER DEVELOPED A CURRICULUM INCORPORATING COMPUTER USE INTO CLASSROOM TEACHINGS. III. AWF CONTINUED SUPPORTING LUPANI SCHOOL: AFTER REBUILDING LUPANI SCHOOL IN ZAMBIA LAST YEAR, AWF HAS CONTINUED TO PROVIDE SUPPORT TO THE SCHOOL. NOT ONLY DID AWF HELP ESTABLISH A SCHOOL GARDEN AND PROVIDED TEXTBOOKS, BUT IT ALSO PROVIDED PORTABLE SCIENCE LABS-PART OF THE ZAMBIA NATIONAL EDUCATION REQUIREMENTS-FOR USE AT THE SCHOOL. TO HELP ATTRACT TEACHERS TO THE RURAL COMMUNITY, AWF ALSO BUILT FIVE TEACHER'S HOUSES, COMPLETE WITH BATHROOMS, AND INSTALLED SOLAR PANELS TO ENSURE ELECTRICITY IN AN AREA THAT IS NOT PLUGGED INTO THE NATIONAL ELECTRICAL GRID. E. CONSERVATION POLICY: AWF AND ITS PARTNERS ACROSS THE HEARTLANDS CAN BE SUCCESSFUL ONLY IF RELEVANT POLICIES, LAWS, REGULATIONS, AND FINANCING MECHANISMS ARE SUPPORTIVE OF CONSERVATION AND RELATED ACHIEVEMENTS. AWF WORKS WITH INDIVIDUAL AFRICAN GOVERNMENTS, PARK AGENCIES, REGIONAL BODIES, AND INTERNATIONAL FUNDING AGENCIES TO HELP DEVELOP AND PROMOTE POLICIES THAT CREATE A ROBUST ENVIRONMENT FOR CONSERVATION AND SUSTAINABLE MODELS OF ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT. AWF HAS ARTICULATED A SPECIFIC AGENDA, WHICH IS REVISITED EACH YEAR, OF THE MOST ESSENTIAL POLICY POSITIONS THAT WE URGE GOVERNMENTS TO ADOPT TO ENSURE THAT WILDLIFE SURVIVES WHILE CONTRIBUTING TO A PROSPEROUS FUTURE FOR AFRICA. I. AWF CONVENED AN INTERNATIONAL RHINO SUMMIT: SEEING THAT ORGANIZATIONS ACROSS THE AFRICAN CONTINENT HADN'T MANAGE TO COORDINATE THEIR EFFORTS TO HALT THE RAMPANT RHINO POACHING OCCURRING ON THE CONTINENT, AWF PARTNERED WITH KENYA WILDLIFE SERVICE TO CONVENE AND HOST AN EMERGENCY RHINO SUMMIT. THE SUMMIT DREW REPRESENTATIVES FROM MORE THAN 25 ORGANIZATIONS ACROSS 8 COUNTRIES, WHO AGREED UPON A PLAN OF ACTION THAT COULD HELP TURN THE TIDE ON RHINO POACHING. THE SUMMIT RECEIVED CONSIDERABLE MEDIA ATTENTION AND COVERAGE. II. AWF IS PILOTING SEVERAL CLIMATE CHANGE PROJECTS: AWF CONTINUED ITS REDD PROJECTS IN TANZANIA AND KENYA, AND BEGAN REDD WORK IN THE DEMOCRATIC REPUBLIC OF CONGO. III. AWF PARTICIPATED IN LOCAL, NATIONAL, REGIONAL AND INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCES: AWF CONTINUED TO MAINTAIN ITS PRESENCE ON THE WORLD STAGE, ATTENDING A NUMBER OF KEY INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCES AND PARTICIPATING IN SEVERAL LOCAL, NATIONAL AND REGIONAL WORKSHOPS AND SEMINARS AS WELL. FOR EXAMPLE, AWF WAS A VISIBLE PRESENCE AT THE COP17 UN CLIMATE CHANGE CONFERENCE IN DURBAN, SOUTH AFRICA, LAST DECEMBER, WHERE PRESIDENT HELEN GICHOHI MADE A KEYNOTE PRESENTATION DURING THE WORLD FOREST DAY FESTIVITIES. FORM 990, PART III, LINE 4B: AWF'S MISSION COULD NOT BE ACCOMPLISHED ALONE, AND THEREFORE IT WORKS WITH PARTNERS AND SUPPORTERS AROUND THE WORLD TO MOBILIZE RESOURCES AND UNITE PEOPLE WHO ARE PASSIONATE ABOUT AFRICAN CONSERVATION. A. AWF INTENSIFIED ITS SAFARI PROGRAM OFFERINGS TO MEMBERS AND OTHER SUPPORTERS: DURING ONE OF SEVERAL AWF PLANNED SAFARIS OVER THE PAST YEAR, AWF LED A GROUP OF MEMBERS ON A 13-DAY SAFARI TO TANZANIA. THE TRIP WAS DESIGNED TO BUILD KNOWLEDGE ABOUT EAST AFRICA'S MAGNIFICENT WILDLIFE WHILE SPOTLIGHTING CONSERVATION PROJECTS THAT LINK WILDLIFE PROTECTION WITH IMPROVED HUMAN WELL-BEING. AWF DESIGNED AND LED THE BEST OF KENYA SAFARI, DURING WHICH PARTICIPANTS VISITED THE AMBOSELI REGION, KENYA'S NORTHERN FRONTIER, AND CONCLUDED THEIR TRIP IN THE MASAI MARA. B. AWF PARTNERED WITH NATURE'S BEST PHOTOGRAPHY TO BUILD AWARENESS ABOUT WILDLIFE CONSERVATION: AWF SPONSORED A NEW AFRICAN WILDLIFE CATEGORY IN THE PRESTIGIOUS NATURE'S BEST PHOTOGRAPHY WINDLAND SMITH RICE INTERNATIONAL AWARDS. EVERY YEAR THE COMPETITION CELEBRATES THE BEAUTY AND DIVERSITY OF NATURE THROUGH THE ART OF PHOTOGRAPHY. WINNERS ARE FEATURED IN A SEVERAL-MONTH-LONG PRINT EXHIBITION AT THE SMITHSONIAN'S NATIONAL MUSEUM OF NATURAL HISTORY FOR THOUSANDS OF VISITORS TO ENJOY AND LEARN FROM. C. AWF LAUNCHED A PUBLIC AWARENESS CAMPAIGN IN CHINA ON RHINO POACHING: UNDERSTANDING THAT RHINO POACHING IN AFRICA WILL NOT STOP UNLESS DEMAND IS TAMPED DOWN, AWF PARTNERED WITH FELLOW NGO WILDAID TO LAUNCH A PUBLIC AWARENESS CAMPAIGN IN CHINA ON RHINO POACHING. ANECDOTAL EVIDENCE HAS FOUND THAT MANY EDUCATED CHINESE DO NOT KNOW THAT RHINO HORNS CANNOT BE ACQUIRED WITHOUT KILLING THE ANIMAL, SO THIS MULTIMEDIA CAMPAIGN WILL EDUCATE CONSUMERS OF RHINO HORN ON THIS AND PROVIDE OTHER STARTLING STATISTICS ON THE NATURE OF RHINO POACHING.
