The George Adamson Trust
The George Adamson & Tony Fitzjohn Wildlife Trust represents a spirit of dynamic ‘hands on’ conservation. We partner with local wildlife authorities to restore degraded wildlife areas, enhance African wildlife conservation, reverse the decline of endangered species and invest wholeheartedly in adjacent communities to promote the benefits of active conservation.
The Trust in Kenya is currently working in partnership with Kenya Wildlife Service to implement these actions in Kora National Park. This project, together with a focussed outreach and education programme, does not simply attempt to hold the line on conservation; it is an ambitious endeavour to re-establish a complete ecosystem, thereby positively reversing historical damage.
We possess the experience and relevant skills following our highly successful thirty-year programme in Tanzania. This internationally-renowned project involved the transformation of the vast Mkomazi Game Reserve into a thriving National Park. It has enabled us to master the techniques of revival and renewal in order that an ecosystem becomes self-sustaining. We are harnessing all that experience, and putting it to the best possible use in Kora today.
We believe the Kora Project is one of the most exciting and valuable endeavours in African conservation today. But – we need your support if we are to succeed in our quest and invite you to join us on our journey of renewal.
