The Impact of One: Creating Ripples of Change

Every transformation begins somewhere. Sometimes with a small gesture, a seed, a sketch, a shared cup of tea. Across Africa’s wildest places, these small beginnings are triggering ripples of change. This festive season, African Parks invites you into a series of stories that uncover one powerful truth: A single action can reshape a landscape. And it can start with you.

An Art Class Can Shape a Lifetime of Stewardship

In Zakouma’s surrounding villages, painter Kirdassi arrives carrying nothing more than paint, brushes, and an open invitation. Children gather quickly, many holding paintbrushes for the first time, as he guides them through the colours and shapes of the world they live in.

The result isn’t just art. It’s perspective.

Children draw elephants they’ve seen in the distance, birds they hear at dawn, and forests their grandparents describe. Through their own eyes, they express pride, imagination, and hope. And in the process, something subtle but powerful happens: their understanding of wildlife shifts from distant and abstract to personal and valued.

These workshops aren’t about teaching art. They’re about the next generation of environmental stewards.

One brushstroke can shape a lifetime of stewardship. Join the ripple and donate today.

A Gentle Barrier that's Changing a Landscape

Near Liwonde, farmers once faced the same challenge every season: elephants wandering into fields and destroying months of work in a single night. Today, a simple line of bright red chilli bushes is quietly changing the balance. Elephants instinctively avoid their scent, helping keep crops safe and reducing the chance of conflict as wildlife moves through the landscape.

What began as a small experiment has grown into a thriving network of farmers planting, harvesting, and selling chillies—turning a simple solution into both protection and opportunity.

One small action can ripple across an entire landscape. Add your impact today.

Conservation that Starts with a Cup of Tea

In the vast, remote wilderness of Chinko, meaningful change begins with a cup of tea. Here, local Fulani “tango” teams are reshaping how conservation and community coexist. They meet with herders, discuss grazing routes, listen, and offer guidance informed by deep cultural understanding. These moments are quiet, patient, and profoundly human.

The tea is only the beginning. What follows is trust built one respectful conversation at a time, trust that helps protect cattle, strengthens relationships, and supports the long-term well-being of a landscape the size of a small country.
