AFRICAN CONSERVATION TRUST

Conservation | Education | Innovation

African Conservation Trust (ACT) is a broad-based environmental, conservation and heritage organisation, founded in 2000. We implement a diverse range of projects and programmes, in South Africa, with a strong focus on collaboration, teamwork and bringing Ecological Agriculture to communities. ACT also works extensively in the heritage sector, using modern technology to preserve Africa’s rich history and culture. Our vision is simple: People on a profitable planet. We envision a world that is able to sustain human life, with abundant natural resources, which people can use not only to survive, but to flourish.
