To provide proactive assistance to the Government and the people of Tanzania with their efforts to conserve and preserve their Protected Area network.

The Friedkin Conservation Fund (FCF) is a registered (US and Tanzanian) non-profit, non-governmental organization incorporated in 1994. Our role is to assist the Tanzanian Government with the conservation and preservation of more than 9 million acres of Tanzania's protected areas. We achieve this through our internationally recognized anti-poaching initiative, our innovative community development program and our field research projects. Based out of Arusha, northern Tanzania, we operate in five Game Reserves, two Open Areas, three Forest Reserves and one Game Controlled Area. The organisation has a flat structure, with the majority of staff operating in the field. We engage rural communities in the conservation of their natural heritage and empower them to alleviate some of the conditions in their lives that contribute to poverty while monitoring, research and facilitating developments in sustainable utilization of natural resources.
