“The Friedkin Conservation Fund ("FCF") has a commitment to conservation and preservation of wildlife and protected areas in Tanzania. In prior years, FCF focused these conservation efforts on anti-poaching teams that consisted of highly motivated and professionally trained rangers. Although FCF continues to support the rangers and their anti-poaching efforts, FCF has broadened its conservation efforts to include additional activities that facilitate and support the conservation of wildlife and protected areas. Some examples of these activities include wildlife rehabilitation and wildlife-human conflict mitigation.”
