More on Fauna and Flora Preservation Society
Description from Wikipedia:
Fauna and Flora International (formerly the Fauna and Flora Preservation Society), was founded in 1903 as the Society for the Preservation of the Wild Fauna of the Empire by a group of British naturalists and American statesmen in Africa. It was then called the Fauna Preservation Society, before being renamed Fauna and Flora Preservation Society in 1981. The goal of the society was to safeguard the future of southern Africa’s large mammal populations, which had declined alarmingly due to over-hunting and habitat encroachment. Working in tandem with landowners, government and sport hunters, the Society helped pass legislation which controlled hunting in vast stretches of East Africa and South Africa. This ultimately paved the way for the formation of National Parks, such as Kruger National Park and Serengeti National Park.
The Society has been referred to by many historians as the world's first conservation society, and the society's early work in Africa was also trend-setting in eco-tourism. The organization also played a key role in establishing much of today’s global conservation infrastructure - including The World Conservation Union (IUCN), The World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF), and the Convention on the International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Flora and Fauna (CITES). FFI has members in over 80 countries.
They have a seven step approach to conserving biodiversity:
#Building local capacity for conservation
#Integrating biodiversity and human needs
#Direct protection of species and habitats
#Securing land for conservation
#Emergency response to conservation needs
#Influencing policy and the practice of conservation
#Bridging the gap between business and biodiversity
