conservancies
Wildlife protection organizations
Conservancies are organizations dedicated to protecting natural resources, wildlife, or historic sites.
The term typically refers to land trusts or environmental groups that manage and preserve specific areas: The Nature Conservancy owns millions of acres across the country.
In parts of Africa, conservancies are community-managed wildlife areas that combine conservation with local economic benefit.
