ADDITIONALLY, COPIES OF THE FEDERAL FORM 990 AND ANNUAL REPORTS ARE MAINTAINED ON THE WEBSITE. FORM 990, PART III, LINE 4A: AWF CONTINUES TO PIONEER THE USE OF COMMUNITY CONSERVATION ENTERPRISES, PROVIDE CRITICAL ASSISTANCE TO NATIONAL PARKS AND RESERVES, AND PROMOTE INTERNATIONAL COOPERATION TO PROTECT IMPORTANT SITES AND POPULATIONS THAT STRETCH ACROSS NATIONAL BOUNDARIES-DEMONSTRATING THAT WILDLIFE AND PEOPLE CAN THRIVE SIDE BY SIDE. AWF'S WORK CAN BE CATEGORIZED INTO FOUR CORE AREAS: LAND AND HABITAT CONSERVATION, WILDLIFE PROTECTION, CONSERVATION ENTERPRISE, EDUCATION AND TRAINING. AWF IS ALSO ACTIVE IN CLIMATE CHANGE ACTIVITIES AND IN POLICY DISCUSSIONS. BELOW IS A BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF AWF'S PERSPECTIVE ON EACH CATEGORY AND KEY ACHIEVEMENTS WITHIN THE LAST FISCAL YEAR. A. LAND AND HABITAT CONSERVATION: AWF'S UNIQUE LARGE-LANDSCAPE APPROACH TO CONSERVATION FOCUSES ON IDENTIFYING AFRICA'S GREAT WILD SPACES, PIECING TOGETHER PARKS, PRIVATE LANDS, AND COMMUNITY LANDS, WHICH CAN BE SECURED AS A HOME FOR WILDLIFE. HISTORICALLY, AWF WORKED TO ESTABLISH NATIONAL PARKS AND WILDLIFE RESERVES, AND TO HELP LOCAL PEOPLE ESTABLISH COMMUNITY CONSERVANCIES. AWF IS NOW SUPPORTING THE MANAGEMENT OF PARKS AND EXPLORING NEW PRIVATE LAND CONSERVATION APPROACHES, INCLUDING LIMITED LAND ACQUISITION AND NEW TYPES OF CONSERVATION LEASES, TO PROTECT CRITICAL WILDLIFE HABITAT. I. AWF BEGAN WORKING WITH WILDLIFE AND PROTECTED AREA AUTHORITIES IN UGANDA UNDER A NEW GRANT, USAID/UGANDA TOURISM FOR BIODIVERSITY PROGRAM. PART OF THIS WORK INVOLVES CAPACITY BUILDING OF AUTHORITIES TO BOOST UGANDA'S WILDLIFE TOURISM PRODUCT, BUT A BIG PORTION OF THIS WORK INVOLVES ENSURING ONGOING CONSERVATION AND PROTECTION OF UGANDA'S NATIONAL PARKS AND PROTECTED AREAS. AWF HAS BEGUN MEETING WITH LANDOWNERS IN SOME OF THE AREAS IMMEDIATELY SURROUNDING NATIONAL PARKS ON THE IDEA OF COMMUNITY CONSERVANCIES, WHERE PRIVATELY OWNED LAND IS PROTECTED FOR WILDLIFE BUT LANDOWNERS GET ECONOMIC BENEFITS FROM THESE CHOICES. WHILE AWF IS ASSISTING IN THE DISCUSSIONS AND THE PROCESS OF EXPLORING THE POTENTIAL FOR A COMMUNITY CONSERVANCY, THIS WILL BE A PROCESS VERY MUCH DRIVEN BY THE LOCAL LANDOWNERS, ENSURING THAT THIS LAND CONSERVATION EFFORT IS EMBRACED AT THE LOCAL LEVEL. B. WILDLIFE PROTECTION: EVEN WHERE LAND AND HABITAT HAVE BEEN SECURED, CERTAIN SPECIES FACE UNIQUE THREATS AND REQUIRE A TARGETED CONSERVATION APPROACH. POPULATIONS OF RARE AND ENDANGERED SPECIES, SUCH AS THE RHINOCEROS, GORILLA, AND ALL OF THE GREAT CATS, HAVE BEEN DIMINISHED DUE TO POACHING, DISEASE, AND CONFLICT WITH HUMANS. AWF USES A NUMBER OF METHODS TO MONITOR AND PROTECT KEY POPULATIONS AND ENSURE THESE SPECIES SURVIVE AND THRIVE IN THEIR NATIVE HABITAT. ONE OF THESE TACTICS IS TO PROVIDE FUNDING TO PARTNERS ON THE GROUND THROUGH THE NEWLY LAUNCHED SPECIES PROTECTION GRANTS PROGRAM. THE GRANTS PROGRAM FUNDS PROJECTS IN SIX THEMATIC AREAS: ELEPHANTS, RHINOS, CARNIVORES, GREAT APES, LAW ENFORCEMENT, AND AWARENESS. I. IN SOUTHERN AFRICA, AWF HAS PROVIDED FUNDING FOR THE PROTECTION OF RHINOS: SAVE VALLEY CONSERVANCY HAS A CRITICAL POOPULATION OF BLACK RHINOS, BUT THE CONSERVANCY IS UNDER SEVERE ECONOMIC PRESSURE DUE TO LOSS OF TOURISM INCOME. AWF IS PROVIDING SUPPORT FOR THE CONSERVANCY TO APPROPRIATELY MANAGE AND PROTECT THESE RHINOS. IN SOUTH AFRICA, AWF'S SUPPORT OF GREAT FISH RIVER NATURE RESERVE HAS ALLOWED THE RESERVE TO INSTALL NEW "SAFETY" DOORS ON ITS RHINO ENCLOSURES, BUILD AN AIRPLANE HANGAR FOR AERIAL SURVEILLANCE EFFORTS AND PURCHASE FOUR NEW MOTORBIKES FOR PATROLS OF THE RESERVE. II. IN EAST AFRICA, AWF IS HELPING TO TIGHTEN SECURITY IN CRITICAL AREAS AND PROVIDE PROTECTION OF ELEPHANTS: UNDER THE NEW GRANTS PROGRAM, AWF HAS ENSURED THAT MANYARA RANCH CONSERVANCY, WHICH CONNECTS BOTH TARANGIRE NATIONAL PARK AND LAKE MANYARA NATIONAL PARK, IS UNDER TIGHTER SECURITY, WITH SPECIALIZED TRAINING FOR SCOUTS ON THE CONSERVANCY, AND THE PURCHASE OF NEW VEHICLES TO BETTER MONITOR THE PROTECTED AREA. AWF HAS ALSO COORDINATED AN ANTIPOACHING TASK FORCE WITH LOCAL PROTECTED AREA AUTHORITIES, THE REGIONAL CRIME OFFICE, AND THE STATE'S ATTORNEY'S OFFICE IN ARUSHA, AN EFFORT THAT HAS RESULTED IN THE APPREHENSION OF SEVERAL POACHERS SINCE THE BEGINNING OF THE 2013 CALENDAR YEAR. III. IN CENTRAL AND WEST AFRICA, AWF LAUNCHED THE AFRICAN APES INITIATIVE TO HELP ENSURE THAT GREAT APES IN AFRICA'S LAST REMAINING FORESTED HABITATS GET SUPPORT AND PROTECTION: GREAT APES IN AFRICA ARE AT RISK FROM HABITAT FRAGMENTATION AND DESTRUCTION, THE PET TRADE, TRANSFER OF HUMAN DISEASE, AND MORE. UNDER THE AFRICAN APES INITIATIVE, AWF IS APPLYING ITS DECADES OF GREAT APE PROTECTION EXPERIENCE WITH BONOBOS AND MOUNTAIN GORILLAS TO THE OTHER GREAT APE SPECIES ON THE CONTINENT. THE INITIATIVE HAS ALREADY ALLOWED FOR AWF TO BEGIN TRAINING RANGERS IN NIOKOLO-KOBA NATIONAL PARK IN SENEGAL, DJA BIOSPHERE RESERVE IN CAMEROON AND BILI UELE ON ECOLOGICAL MONITORING AND THE USER OF THE CYBERTRACKER/TRIMBLE ECOLOGICAL MONITORING TECHNOLOGY. C. CONSERVATION ENTERPRISE: AWF BELIEVES THAT AFRICA'S WILDLIFE AND WILD LANDS CAN ONLY BE TRULY SECURE WHEN CONSERVATION OPERATIONS HAVE A SOUND FINANCIAL BASIS, AND WHEN ECONOMIC INCENTIVES EXIST FOR LOCAL PEOPLE TO HELP CONSERVE NATURAL SYSTEMS. OVER THE PAST SEVERAL YEARS, AWF HAS WORKED WITH PRIVATE SECTOR PARTNERS TO CREATE CUTTING-EDGE EXAMPLES OF CONSERVATION TOURISM PRODUCTS THAT INCLUDE EQUITY HOLDINGS AND OTHER INCENTIVES FOR LOCAL PEOPLE TO CONSERVE WILDLIFE AND ITS HABITAT. AWF IS CURRENTLY EXPANDING ITS EMPHASIS ON AGRICULTURE, LIVESTOCK, AND FISHERIES AS SMALL BUSINESSES THAT SUPPORT HUMAN NEEDS WHILE REDUCING RELIANCE ON THE EXPLOITATION OF WILDLIFE RESOURCES. I. AWF OPENED A NEW COMMUNITY-OWNED CONSERVATION LODGE IN ZAMBIA: THE AREA WHERE ZAMBIA, BOTSWANA, NAMIBIA AND ZIMBABWE MEET IS A HEAVY TOURIST ATTRACTION, IN PARTICULAR BECAUSE OF THE LARGE ELEPHANT POPULATION THAT MAKES ITS HOME THERE. INCREASED DEVELOPMENT HAS INCREASED HUMAN-WILDLIFE CONFLICT, HOWEVER, AND NEITHER LOCAL RESIDENTS NOR ELEPHANTS HAVE BENEFITED SIGNIFICANTLY FROM AREA TOURISM. AWF BROKERED AN AGREEMENT WITH THE LOCAL COMMUNITY AND A PRIVATE SECTOR PARTNER WHEREIN THE COMMUNITY OWNS THE NEW MACHENJE FISHING LODGE AND THE PARTNER OPERATES IT. REVENUES ARE SPLIT BETWEEN THE COMMUNITY AND THE PRIVATE OPERATOR, WITH COMMUNITY REVENUES TO BE PUT TOWARD COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT PROJECTS THAT WILL PROVIDE A BETTER LIFE FOR THE RESIDENTS AND INCENTIVIZE THEM INTO PROTECTING THE AREA ELEPHANTS. II. AWF CONTINUES TO PROVIDE SUPPORT TO A FINANCIAL SERVICES ORGANIZATION IN KENYA. IN AN AREA WHERE WOMEN HAVE FEW OPPORTUNITIES AND WEALTH HAS TRADITIONALLY BEEN MEASURED BY THE SIZE OF ONE'S LIVESTOCK HERD, AWF HAS PROVIDED ONGOING SUPPORT TO A FINANCIAL SERVICES ORGANIZATION, NASARUNI, THAT IN THE PAST THREE YEARS HAS GROWN FROM A MERE 141 MEMBERS AND ABOUT US$250 IN ASSETS TO MORE THAN 1,100 MEMBERS AND AN ASSET BASE OF US$102,000. A MAJORITY OF THE MEMBERS ARE WOMEN, AND THE HEAD OF THE NASARUNI BOARD IS A WOMAN. THE REPAYMENT RATE IS NEAR 90 PERCENT, AND THE BANK HAS ALLOWED WOMEN THROUGHOUT THE COMMUNITY TO ESTABLISH NEW BUSINESSES AND BUILD HOUSING FOR THEIR FAMILIES. MEANWHILE, KNOWLEDGE OF CONSERVATION ISSUES HAS INCREASED AMONG THE MEMBERSHIP. D. EDUCATION AND TRAINING: AWF WAS FOUNDED ON THE BELIEF THAT CONSERVATION EFFORTS MUST ULTIMATELY REST IN THE HANDS OF THE PEOPLE OF AFRICA WHO, WITH EDUCATIONAL SUPPORT, WILL CONSTRUCT A VIABLE PLATFORM TO CONSERVE THE CONTINENT'S WILDLIFE HERITAGE. OVER THE PAST DECADES, AWF HAS SPONSORED HUNDREDS OF YOUNG AFRICAN CONSERVATIONISTS TO STUDY WILDLIFE MANAGEMENT AND TO ACQUIRE HIGHER DEGREES IN CONSERVATION-RELATED FIELDS. BEYOND FORMAL EDUCATION, AWF WORKS TO TRAIN LOCAL PEOPLE AND BUILD THE CAPACITY OF AFRICAN INSTITUTIONS TO PROTECT AND MANAGE WILDLIFE. I. AWF CONTINUED ITS CONSERVATION MANAGEMENT TRAINING PROGRAM: AWF IMPLEMENTED AND BEGAN TRAINING ITS FIRST CLASS OF CONSERVATION MANAGEMENT TRAINEES, A NEW HIGH-LEVEL MANAGEMENT AND MENTORING PROGRAM FOR MASTER'S GRADUATES WHO HAVE AN INTEREST IN DEVELOPING THEIR PRACTICAL CONSERVATION KNOWLEDGE. TWO CANDIDATES, ONE FROM KENYA AND ONE FROM THE DEMOCRATIC REPUBLIC OF CONGO, BEGAN WITH THE PROGRAM IN AUGUST OF 2012 AND WERE IMMERSED IN AWF'S PROGRAMS, POLICIES AND PROJECT WORK, FIRST AT AWF HEADQUARTERS IN NAIROBI, KENYA, AND LATER IN OUR LANDSCAPES. ONE OF OUR TRAINEES WAS STATIONED IN THE MAU FORESTS OF KENYA AND RECENTLY WAS HIRED AS A FULL-TIME PROJECT MANAGER IN THAT LANDSCAPE. THE OTHER TRAINEE WAS STATIONED IN KENYA'S SAMBURU LANDSCAPE FOR 9 MONTHS AND IS NOW UNDERGOING A SECOND PERIOD OF IMMERSION IN UGANDA, AS PART OF OUR USAID/UGANDA TOURISM FOR BIODIVERSITY PROGRAM. II. AWF LAUNCHED ITS AWF CONSERVATION SCHOOLS INITIATIVE, A GROUNDBREAKING PROGRAM THAT AIMS TO BUILD AND SUPPORT PRIMARY SCHOOLS IN RURAL AREAS, IN EXCHANGE FOR THOSE RURAL COMMUNITIES MAKING CERTAIN CONSERVATION CONCESSIONS. BUILDING UPON ITS ONGOING SUPPORT OF MANAYRA RANCH SCHOOL IN TANZANIA AND LUPANI PRIMARY SCHOOL IN ZAMBIA, AWF WILL, THROUGH THE CONSERVATION SCHOOLS INITIATIVE, BUILD ECOLOGICALLY FRIENDLY BUILDINGS AND TEACHER HOUSING, PROVIDE ACCESS TO TECHNOLOGY, PROVIDE TEACHER INCENTIVES AND ONGOING TEACHER TRAINING, AND INCORPORATE CONSERVATION CURRICULA INTO THE EDUCATIONAL SPHERE IN RURAL AREAS. AWF HAS PARTNERED WITH AN ARCHITECTURAL FIRM, MASS DESIGN GROUP, TO BEGIN DESIGNS ON A NEW SCHOOL IN ILIMA, DEMOCRATIC REPUBLIC OF CONGO, AND HAS BEGUN ASSESSING THE POTENTIAL FOR SIMILAR SCHOOLS IN ETHIOPIA AND RWANDA. III. AWF HAS PROVIDED A SPECIAL TECHNICAL ADVISOR IN JUBA, SOUTH SUDAN, AT THE REQUEST OF THE SOUTH SUDANESE GOVERNMENT. PLACED WITHIN THE MINISTER OF WILDLIFE CONSERVATION AND TOURISM, THE ADVISOR--A FORMER DIRECTOR OF AWF'S MAASAI STEPPE LANDSCAPE--IS HELPING THE GOVERNMENT TO CREATE NEW WILDLIFE POLICIES, PROVIDING GUIDANCE ON RANGER TRAINING, OFFERING AWF'S VAST EXPERTISE IN CONSERVATION METHODOLOGIES AND LAND USE POLITICES, AND ESTABLISHING AN OVERALL A CULTURE OF CONSERVATION WITHIN A COUNTRY PREVIOUSLY RAVAGED BY DECADES OF WAR. E. CLIMATE CHANGE AND POLICY WORK: AWF AND ITS PARTNERS ACROSS AFRICA'S LANDSCAPES CAN BE SUCCESSFUL ONLY IF RELEVANT POLICIES, LAWS, REGULATIONS, AND FINANCING MECHANISMS ARE SUPPORTIVE OF CONSERVATION AND RELATED ACHIEVEMENTS. AWF WORKS WITH INDIVIDUAL AFRICAN GOVERNMENTS, PARK AGENCIES, REGIONAL BODIES, AND INTERNATIONAL FUNDING AGENCIES TO HELP DEVELOP AND PROMOTE POLICIES THAT CREATE A ROBUST ENVIRONMENT FOR CONSERVATION AND SUSTAINABLE MODELS OF ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT. AWF HAS ARTICULATED A SPECIFIC AGENDA, WHICH IS REVISITED EACH YEAR, OF THE MOST ESSENTIAL POLICY POSITIONS THAT WE URGE GOVERNMENTS TO ADOPT TO ENSURE THAT WILDLIFE SURVIVES WHILE CONTRIBUTING TO A PROSPEROUS FUTURE FOR AFRICA. I. AWF CONTINUED ITS REDD PROJECTS IN TANZANIA, KENYA, AND THE DEMOCRATIC REPUBLIC OF CONGO. AWF RECENTLY EMBARKED ON A PROJECT TO INCORPORATE THE ENTIRETY OF THE CHYULU HILLS ECOSYSTEM IN SOUTHERN KENYA INTO A REDD+ PROJECT II. AWF PARTICIPATED IN LOCAL, NATIONAL, REGIONAL AND INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCES: AWF CONTINUED TO MAINTAIN ITS PRESENCE ON THE WORLD STAGE, ATTENDING A NUMBER OF KEY INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCES AND PARTICIPATING IN SEVERAL LOCAL, NATIONAL AND REGIONAL WORKSHOPS AND SEMINARS AS WELL. FOR EXAMPLE, AWF WAS A VISIBLE PRESENCE CITES CONFERENCE OF THE PARTIES IN THAILAND IN MARCH. FURTHER, AWF INVOLVED IN DISCUSSIONS WITH THE STATE DEPARTMENT AND OTHER NGOS THAT LED TO THE NOVEMBER 2012 ANNOUNCEMENT BY THEN-SECRETARY OF STATE HILLARY CLINTON TO ADD ILLEGAL WILDLIFE TRAFFICKING TO THE STATE DEPARTMENT'S FOREIGN POLICY AGENDA. AWF CEO PATRICK BERGIN HAS SUBSEQUENTLY PARTICIPATED IN HIGH-LEVEL, CLOSED-DOOR DISCUSSIONS WITH OTHER CONSERVATION GROUPS AND FORMER SECRETARY CLINTON ON THE TOPIC OF ILLEGAL WILDLIFE TRAFFICKING. FORM 990, PART III, LINE 4B: A. AWF INTENSIFIED ITS SAFARI PROGRAM OFFERINGS TO MEMBERS AND OTHER SUPPORTERS: DURING ONE OF SEVERAL AWF PLANNED SAFARIS OVER THE PAST YEAR, AWF LED A GROUP OF MEMBERS ON A 13-DAY SAFARI TO TANZANIA. THE TRIP WAS DESIGNED TO BUILD KNOWLEDGE ABOUT EAST AFRICA'S MAGNIFICENT WILDLIFE WHILE SPOTLIGHTING CONSERVATION PROJECTS THAT LINK WILDLIFE PROTECTION WITH IMPROVED HUMAN WELL-BEING. THIS SAFARI WAS PARTICULARLY SPECIAL THIS YEAR BECAUSE IT INCLUDED THE WINNER OF AWF'S SAFARI SWEEPSTAKES COMPETITION. B. AWF CONTINUED ITS PARTNERSHIP WITH NATURE'S BEST PHOTOGRAPHY TO BUILD AWARENESS ABOUT WILDLIFE CONSERVATION: AWF SPONSORED AN AFRICAN WILDLIFE CATEGORY IN THE PRESTIGIOUS NATURE'S BEST PHOTOGRAPHY WINDLAND SMITH RICE INTERNATIONAL AWARDS. EVERY YEAR THE COMPETITION CELEBRATES THE BEAUTY AND DIVERSITY OF NATURE THROUGH THE ART OF PHOTOGRAPHY. WINNERS ARE FEATURED IN A SEVERAL-MONTH-LONG PRINT EXHIBITION AT THE SMITHSONIAN'S NATIONAL MUSEUM OF NATURAL HISTORY FOR THOUSANDS OF VISITORS TO ENJOY AND LEARN FROM. C. AWF CONTINUED ITS PUBLIC AWARENESS CAMPAIGN IN CHINA ON RHINO POACHING, AND EXTENDED THAT CAMPAIGN TO ALSO EDUCATE ASIAN CONSUMERS ON ELEPHANT POACHING. BECAUSE POACHING OF ELEPHANTS AND RHINOS IN AFRICA IS BEING CAUSED BY DEMAND IN ASIA FOR IVORY AND RHINO HORN, AWF HAS CONTINUED ITS UNIQUE CAMPAIGN WITH FELLOW NGO WILDAID, USING THE POWER OF ASIAN CELEBRITIES TO EDUCATE CONSUMERS AND WOULD-BE CONSUMERS OF THESE WILDLIFE PRODUCTS THAT THEIR DEMAND IS RESULTING IN THE BRUTAL KILLINGS OF AFRICA'S ICONIC WILDLIFE. THUS FAR, PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENTS HAVE BEEN FILMED WITH FORMER NBA STAR YAO MING, MOVIE ACTION STAR JACKIE CHAN, VIETNAMESE-AMERICAN TV ACTRESS MAGGIE Q, AND OTHER CELEBRITIES WELL KNOWN IN ASIA. SOME OF THESE PSAS AND BILLBOARDS HAVE BEEN DISTRIBUTED ALREADY IN CHINA.
