WE CURRENTLY MANAGE 22 NATIONAL PARKS AND PROTECTED AREAS IN 12 COUNTRIES COVERING OVER 20 MILLION HECTARES IN: ANGOLA, BENIN, CENTRAL AFRICAN REPUBLIC, CHAD, THE DEMOCRATIC REPUBLIC OF CONGO, MALAWI, MOZAMBIQUE, THE REPUBLIC OF CONGO, SOUTH SUDAN, RWANDA, ZAMBIA, AND ZIMBABWE.CHINKO:SITUATED IN EASTERN CENTRAL AFRICAN REPUBLIC (CAR), ONE OF AFRICA'S MOST REMOTE AND UNSTABLE REGIONS, CHINKO CONTINUES TO BE A REMARKABLE STORY OF SUCCESS AND RESTORATION. SINCE 2014, WHEN THE CAR GOVERNMENT INVITED AFRICAN PARKS TO MANAGE CHINKO, WILDLIFE BEGAN TO RETURN, AND STABILITY IS INCREASING IN A REGION ONCE FRAUGHT WITH CIVIL WAR AND POACHING. IN APRIL 2020, A REVISED AGREEMENT WAS SIGNED WITH THE GOVERNMENT FOR A FURTHER 25 YEARS. UNDER THIS NEW MANDATE, THE FUNCTIONAL LANDSCAPE OF CHINKO WAS INCLUDED, TAKING THE AREA UNDER MANAGEMENT TO OVER 55,000 KM/SQ. AS EFFECTIVE MANAGEMENT HAS TAKEN HOLD, HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE FROM SOME OF THE WORLD'S MOST VULNERABLE COMMUNITIES ARE BEGINNING TO FEEL THE VALUE OF CHINKO. THROUGH A TRANSHUMANCE SENSITIZATION PROGRAM, FOCUSING ON PEACEFULLY RAISING AWARENESS AMONG HERDERS AROUND THE PARK TO GUIDE THEM ALONG DESIGNATED CATTLE CORRIDORS, THE ECOLOGICAL DAMAGE CAUSED BY CATTLE IS DIMINISHING. IN 2022, THE WILDLIFE PROTECTION AND SENSITIZATION TEAMS INCREASED THE ACTIVE PROTECTION OF THE CORE PROTECTED AREA TO 24,300 KM/SQ, KEEPING THE AREA FREE OF LIVESTOCK. ELEPHANT NUMBERS HAVE STABILIZED AND ARE ON THE RISE, THE NEARLY ERADICATED NORTHERN LION POPULATION HAS INCREASED TO A FEW HUNDRED, BUFFALO NUMBERS ARE GROWING ANNUALLY, AND THE GIANT ELAND AND BONGO POPULATIONS ARE NOW THE LARGEST UNDER EFFECTIVE PROTECTION IN AFRICA. SPECIFICALLY IN THIS PAST YEAR, CHINKO CONFIRMED THE PRESENCE OF ELEVEN WILD DOGS, INCLUDING JUVENILES, AND A BREEDING POPULATION OF EASTERN CHIMPANZEES, SIGNALING A RESURGENCE OF THESE KEY SPECIES. FURTHERMORE, ENTERPRISE INITIATIVES AND THE PROVISION OF ESSENTIAL SERVICES SUCH AS MARKET GARDENING, MEDICAL, AND EDUCATION HAVE IMPROVED THE LIVELIHOODS OF THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE LIVING IN THE DIRECT PERIPHERY OF THE PARK. GOING FORWARD, THE VISION FOR CHINKO IS TO CONTINUE EXPANDING THE CORE CONSERVATION AREA WITHIN THE CONTIGUOUS LANDSCAPE OF EASTERN CAR, TO SERVE AS AN ECOLOGICAL CORRIDOR FROM CHAD TO SOUTH SUDAN. KAFUE: SITUATED IN THE KAVANGO ZAMBEZI (KAZA) TRANSFRONTIER CONSERVATION AREA (TFCA), THE WORLD'S LARGEST TRANSFRONTIER CONSERVATION AREA, KAFUE NATIONAL PARK IS ONE OF THE BIGGEST PARKS IN AFRICA, SPANNING 22,400 KM/SQ. THE NATIONAL PARK ENCOMPASSES A VAST NETWORK OF RIVERS, WETLANDS, AND INTACT WOODLANDS, CREATING AN EXPANSIVE TRACT OF THE ICONIC ZAMBEZIAN ECOREGION, PROVIDING REFUGE TO CRITICAL POPULATIONS OF SAVANNAH WILDLIFE. IN FEBRUARY 2021, THE GOVERNMENT OF ZAMBIA INVITED AFRICAN PARKS TO IMPLEMENT A 17-MONTH PRIORITY SUPPORT PLAN (PSP), DURING WHICH SIGNIFICANT INVESTMENTS IN WILDLIFE PROTECTION AND INFRASTRUCTURE WERE MADE TO SAFEGUARD AND DEVELOP THE PARK. THESE EFFORTS PAVED THE WAY FOR A LONG-TERM MANDATE AND IN JULY 2022, WHEN AFRICAN PARKS SIGNED A 20-YEAR MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT WITH THE GOVERNMENT OF ZAMBIA FOR THE FULL PROTECTION OF KAFUE. SINCE THEN, A MANAGEMENT TEAM HAS BEEN RECRUITED, ADDITIONAL RANGERS SELECTED FOR TRAINING, THE GREATER KAFUE LANDSCAPE LTD BOARD APPOINTED, AND INFRASTRUCTURE AND OPERATIONS HAVE BEEN SCALED TO MEET THE NEEDS OF MANAGING THIS CRITICALLY IMPORTANT ECOSYSTEM. IN 2022, AN AERIAL SURVEY WAS UNDERTAKEN, FOCUSING ON ELEPHANTS AND LARGE MAMMALS ACROSS KAFUE AND THE SURROUNDING GAME MANAGEMENT AREAS. IN ADDITION, 36 ELEPHANTS, 16 LIONS, NINE WILD DOGS, FIVE CHEETAHS AND FIVE UNGULATES WERE COLLARED THROUGH PARTNERSHIPS WITH OTHER CONSERVATION ORGANIZATIONS. THE RESULTS OF THE SURVEY, TOGETHER WITH THE COLLARED ANIMAL MONITORING DATA, WILL CONTRIBUTE TO A BASELINE AGAINST WHICH TO MEASURE THE PROGRESS OF RESTORATION. WITH A CORE FOCUS ON STRENGTHENING PROTECTION TO CONSERVE KAFUE'S WILDLIFE POPULATIONS, AFRICAN PARKS RECRUITED AND SELECTED CANDIDATES FROM THE COMMUNITIES IN THE PERIPHERY OF THE PARK TO ESTABLISH A WELL-TRAINED AND MOTIVATED FIELD RANGER TEAM. OUR WORK IN THIS IMMENSE LANDSCAPE IS CRITICAL TO ENSURING THE FUTURE NOT ONLY OF THIS IMPORTANT BIODIVERSITY , BUT THE ESSENTIAL NATURAL RESOURCES, AND HEALTH OF OUR ECOSYSTEMS THAT REPRESENT THE HERITAGE OF GENERATIONS TO COME.AKAGERA:AKAGERA NATIONAL PARK IS A SHINING EXAMPLE OF WHAT CAN BE ACHIEVED THROUGH STRONG PARTNERSHIPS WITH GOVERNMENTS AND COMMUNITIES. SINCE 2010, WHEN THE RWANDA DEVELOPMENT BOARD AND AFRICAN PARKS SIGNED A LONG-TERM MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT FOR AKAGERA, THE PARK HAS TRANSFORMED FROM A DEPLETED, UNDERVALUED RESOURCE INTO ONE OF AFRICA'S PREMIUM WILDLIFE DESTINATIONS. AFTER SEVERAL LITTERS WERE BORN AT THE END OF 2022, THE LION POPULATION GREW TO 57 INDIVIDUALS, WHICH IS SIX TIMES THE NUMBER OF LIONS WHEN AFRICAN PARKS ASSUMED MANAGEMENT. HUNDREDS OF COMMUNITIES BENEFIT FROM THE PARK'S ONGOING OPERATIONS AND LIVELIHOOD INITIATIVES. IN 2022 ALONE, NEARLY $1 MILLION OF ECONOMIC ACTIVITY FLOWED FROM THE PARK INTO THE SURROUNDING COMMUNITIES IN THE FORM OF REVENUE SHARING, CASUAL WAGES, LOCAL PURCHASES, ETC. THE PARK ALSO EARNED RECORD REVENUE THROUGH TOURISM, OF WHICH RWANDAN CITIZENS MADE UP 43% OF PAYING VISITORS. ONE SIGNIFICANT HIGHLIGHT FROM 2022 WAS THE OFFICIAL OPENING OF THE GISHANDA FISH FARM. GISHANDA SUSTAINABLY FARMS TILAPIA TO OFFER COMMUNITY MEMBERS AN ACCESSIBLE PROTEIN SOURCE, WHILE ALSO ENHANCING SUSTAINABLE FARMING METHODS AND PROVIDING NEW SKILLS AND JOBS, BENEFITTING BOTH COMMUNITIES AND BIODIVERSITY CONSERVATION. THIS PROJECT RELEASED 111,000 FINGERLINGS TO RESTOCK LAKE GISHANDA, CONTRIBUTED TO THE ELECTRIFICATION OF TWO VILLAGES, IMPROVED THE UMUNEZERO PRIMARY SCHOOL BY PROVIDING CLEAN WATER FROM THE FARM'S BOREHOLES, AND SUPPLIED A COMMUNITY-RUN ORGANIC VEGETABLE FARM WITH FERTILIZED WASTEWATER. AKAGERA'S REVIVAL, THROUGH SOUND PARTNERSHIPS AND A CLEAR VISION, DEMONSTRATES WHAT IS POSSIBLE TO SUPPORT PEOPLE AND WILDLIFE LONG INTO THE FUTURE. 27820350 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 1 1 1 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 5 0 7 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 13 13 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 NY X X JOANNA DA VEIGA 6465681276 21 WEST 46TH STREET NEW YORK NY 10036 RONALD J ULRICH CHAIRMAN 10.00 X X 0 0 0 EDITH MCBEAN CO-VICE CHAIR 5.00 X X 0 0 0 MICHAEL BEAUMONT CO-VICE CHAIR 5.00 X X 0 0 0 ANNA MCWANE SECRETARY 5.00 X X 0 0 0 THOMAS GALLAGHER TREASURER 5.00 X X 0 0 0 JONATHAN CUMMINGS BOARD MEMBER 1.00 X 0 0 0 DAVID GIBBONS BOARD MEMBER 1.00 X 0 0 0 EMMA PILKINGTON GOERGEN BOARD MEMBER 1.00 X 0 0 0 PENNI LUDWIG BOARD MEMBER 1.00 X 0 0 0 JONATHAN MILLS BOARD MEMBER 1.00 X 0 0 0 MARVIN SCHWARTZ BOARD MEMBER 1.00 X 0 0 0 SANJAY SEN BOARD MEMBER 1.00 X 0 0 0 MELANIE WALTON BOARD MEMBER 1.00 X 0 0 0 TONI L CONDON EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR 40.00 X 281000 0 25186 EDWARD BARNES CHIEF OPERATING OFFICER 40.00 X 138000 0 25186 SARAH WILSON SENIOR DIRECTOR, PHILANTHROPY 40.00 X 207000 0 15436 626000 0 65808 3 0 1 0 NORTHERN TRUST 50 SOUTH LA SALLE STREET B-10 CHICAGO IL 60603 INVESTMENT ADVISORY 146600 1 229869 22460755 1626078 22690624 1333564 1333564 15933217 17580685 -1647468 -1647468 -1647468 22376720 0 0 -313904 27820350 27820350 691808 276723 415085 242479 71927 170552 13509 4451 9058 25474 8118 17356 58028 21536 36492 41434 41434 146600 146600 23136 23136 6878 5775 1103 88830 44415 44415 110859 71955 38904 6919 6919 18183 18183 FDRSNG SUPPLIES & MEALS 37711 37711 DUES & SUBSCRIPTIONS 6363 6363 OTHER EXPENSES 1887 1887 RECRUITING EXPENSES 210 210 29340658 27820350 749632 770676 1474145 1715143 962521 705529 48860969 27482465 14000 14800 51740827 57235220 25032 46778 103077494 87199935 13516 23337 0 7530 13516 30867 X 3277432 2722542 99786546 84446526 103063978 87169068 103077494 87199935 -6963938 -8930972 0 X X 0 1 X 1 0 X 19514545 8921521 18750649 16529571 22690624 86406910 19514545 8921521 18750649 16529571 22690624 86406910 51746892 34660018 16018 17944 120109 1015417 1333564 2503052 2382 2382 88912344 0.38980 0.41120 X SCHEDULE A, PART II, LINE 10, EXPLANATION OF OTHER INCOME: MISCELLANEOUS - 2019 AMOUNT: $ 2,382.
