African Forestry and Wildlife Commission

The African Forestry and Wildlife Commission (AFWC) is a specialized body of the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) that focuses on the sustainable management and conservation of Africa's forests and wildlife. It brings together African countries, experts, and partners to develop policies, share knowledge, and promote practices that protect biodiversity, ensure livelihoods, and balance ecological health with economic needs. The AFWC aims to address challenges such as deforestation, habitat loss, and illegal poaching, fostering cooperation across nations to preserve Africa’s rich natural heritage for current and future generations.
