Case study

Conservation nonprofit African Parks see potential threat areas for animals

The stewards of some of the most important ecosystems on our planet work with Esri to gain a bird’s-eye view of the relationship between humans and ecological landscapes. The nonprofit conservation organization African Parks manages and rehabilitates 15 national parks in partnership with governments across the African continent. African Parks integrates location intelligence to gain a better understanding of the land, combating everything from poaching to climate change impacts, to ensure that each park is ecologically, socially, and financially sustainable for generations to come.
