Founded in 1997 by Nelson Mandela, Prince Bernhard of the Netherlands and Anton Rupert, Peace Parks Foundation works with governments across southern Africa to link national parks and community conservancies into transboundary conservation areas where wildlife can migrate freely again. It has helped establish 10 transfrontier conservation areas spanning 11 countries, including the roughly 520,000-square-kilometer Kavango-Zambezi (KAZA) landscape. By the end of 2023 the foundation had rewilded more than 18,000 animals into restored landscapes, with populations growing to an estimated 100,000 in the parks it co-manages.
