Blog update 2/23-2/28

This week focused on how AWF leverages capitalism for conservation

AWF is historically known for raising money for conservation. The organization thrives off donations and investors of conservation.

The African Wildlife Capital   is a mission-related investment company owned and operated by AWF. It engages in long-term investing for AWF conservation efforts.

People seek a return on their investments, but each investment must contain conservation logic/ priority conservation landscapes or specific wildlife populations.
investments:
* generate economic and social benefits to local communities
* reduce encroachment on wildlife
*generate income to sustain conservation efforts/operations/initiatives

target investments range from $250,000-$1.5 million US dollars
