About Us

From the tiniest unicellular organism to the great blue whale, every plant and animal on our wondrous planet depends on its relationships with other living things for survival. We believe that successful conservation is also about collaborative, supportive, inclusive relationships.

As an international non-profit, PAMS Foundation has a central philosophy of building strong relationships at every level of society in order to serve and empower the people who protect wilderness and wildlife.
Over more than a decade, we’ve demonstrated that a keen willingness to listen, support and work with communities and farmers in wildlife areas creates deep, lasting relationships that, over time, engender trust and collaboration. Those relationships allow us to help people live sustainably and harmoniously with their environments and the many wild creatures that share the land. Likewise, our collaboration with governments, law enforcement, criminal justice agencies, task forces, private enterprise, schools and other NGOs has shown that real change happens when we all work together.

What do we do?

We work to ensure wildlife and wild places are secure and ensure coexistence is possible for the communities living side by side with wildlife, as they are ultimately the biodiversity stewards of the world.

We develop and deliver educational programs in schools and communities in wildlife areas to promote lifestyles that enable living in harmony with nature and create a greater awareness of the real value of nature. We train and support rangers and village game scouts who protect wildlife against poaching as well as assisting farmers and communities with coexistence strategies to reduce human-wildlife conflict. We also support local authorities in protected area management and collaborate with high level government and international stakeholders to tackle issues such as the illegal wildlife trade. We develop and test new approaches for conservation.
