Tourism pays for Conservation

Africa’s Eden believes passionately in a pragmatic, sustainable approach to conservation. Allowing small-scale, high-end tourism in West-Central Africa, means that its nature can be preserved by investing the profits in the area to ensure continued and economically sustainable protection of the national parks, while at the same time bringing employment and education.

Our approach aims to establish and sustain west central Africa as a unique global destination for tourism, in order to conserve and protect its natural and cultural heritage. Responsibly attracting tourists to its operations in the west central African region will go a long way to increase awareness of the secrets that lay hidden in one of the world’s most environmentally pristine locations.

The various conservation efforts and wildlife projects, such as the efforts by the Wildlife Conservation Society and the Fernan Vaz Gorilla project respectively, directly make a difference in providing new jobs and responsibilities in the various projects, lodges and accommodations.
