The Slow Fund: Conserving Africa's Iconic Species & Landscapes With African Parks

By Michele Harvey

When you look at the transformation of Akagera, with species like lions coming in 2015, rhinos in 2017, this is not by accident. We could not have done this alone which is why we invited African Parks to help us realize what I know and what many know to be true: that we are dependent on our natural resources for our economic development and our survival. We cannot deplete our natural resources and expect to thrive. By working with African Parks we are creating something that will be sustainable in the very-long term, while getting the results we need and which we see on a day-to-day basis. - His Excellency, Paul Kagame, President of Rwanda
