For wildlife and wild places to flourish, people must thrive alongside them. Nowhere is this interconnectedness more evident than in Africa, where rich biodiversity exists side by side with indigenous communities who have long coexisted with wildlife. Yet, as human populations grow, this balance faces increasing strain. Expanding settlements fragment the landscapes essential for wildlife, raising the risk of conflicts over vital resources like land, water, and food.
Human-wildlife conflict arises when close encounters between people and animals lead to negative outcomes. Farmers may experience devastating losses when elephants trample crops or when predators like lions threaten livestock. In response, defensive actions to protect livelihoods can sometimes result in the killing of wildlife, pushing endangered species closer to extinction. Such conflicts disrupt entire ecosystems, as the loss of keystone species impacts the biodiversity that sustains natural habitats.
At Here Today, Africa Tomorrow, we see safaris as more than journeys—they’re powerful connections where people, wildlife, and ecosystems come together in unforgettable ways. Across Africa, this connection is profound, with communities and wildlife sharing the land in a way that reflects centuries of coexistence. By supporting responsible safaris, we help ensure that both people and wildlife can continue to thrive in harmony.
