Six Rivers Africa is a not-for-profit conservation organisation with the aim to understand, protect, and restore biodiversity in Tanzania.

Six Rivers Africa is built on a distinctive model combining government collaboration, community engagement, and scientific research to protect Tanzania’s most at-risk landscapes.

The World Wildlife Fund’s “Living Planet Index” estimated that there had been a universal decline of up to 68% in biodiversity across the world over the last 50 years.

Six Rivers Africa was established to join the fight for the survival of the African savanna – adopting a data driven and ‘Tanzanian led’ approach to invest in wilderness areas for the benefit of future generations.

Tanzania alone holds 20% of the large mammal population in Africa, and hosts one of the largest populations of red listed species in Africa.

Why Tanzania?

Safeguarding Tanzania’s Selous ecosystem—one of the world’s largest protected areas and a UNESCO World Heritage Site—is essential for maintaining viable populations of elephants, lions, wild dogs, and countless other species, while also supporting clean water, climate stability, and sustainable livelihoods for the people who depend on these landscapes.
