Africat Foundation (The) |
|
| |
The Africat Foundation concentrates on four objectives in working towards its mission:
• To create awareness and promote the tolerance of large carnivores among the farming community by assisting farmers in effective farm management techniques, including titleing problem predators as opposed to indiscriminate removal.
• To educate youth about large carnivores and environmental awareness.
• To research large carnivores, particularly cheetahs and leopards, on farmland and in captivity.
• To provide humane housing, treatment and care for orphaned and injured animals.
AfriCat is based on the guest farm Okonjima in central Namibia, near the town of Otjiwarongo. A board of trustees meets four times a year to guide conservation and animal welfare priorities, while the daily running of the organisation is handled by the director and a small staff. Although almost a quarter of the foundations running costs are covered by Okonjima, the funding of AfriCat's work is dependent on donations from the public and other large welfare organisations. |

$1,775.00 US.
Africat Foundation (The) has been indicated by AFC members as a potential recipient of donations by participating artists. AFC's Art for ConservationTM program, provides a forum to promote artwork that benefits recognized conservation organizations such as Africat Foundation (The).
AFC members have voluntarily and independently earmarked a portion of the proceeds from the sale of their artwork to Africat Foundation (The). AFC's Art for ConservationTM program provides a forum to help promote artwork for sale that includes such a commitment. Each artists's commitment is contingent on the sale of their work and the above estimate is a potential total based on the completion of sale of any original work and/or limited editions. The AFC is not involved in any way with artwork sales transactions, nor does it make any guarantees relating to artist commitments. The AFC takes no commission whatsoever from the sale of artwork under the Art for ConservationTM program, unless explicitly indicated.
