Managing 24 protected areas spanning over 20 million hectares across 13 African countries, the organization employs a \u201cbusiness approach to conservation\u201d that prioritizes long-term partnerships with governments and local communities. Boasting the largest ranger force of any NGO on the continent, over 1,400 dedicated rangers and a track record of reducing elephant poaching by 90% in managed areas, African Parks has demonstrated that effective conservation can simultaneously safeguard biodiversity, support local livelihoods, and mitigate climate change. Recent milestones highlighted during the dinner includes the January 2026 birth of mountain gorilla twins in the Democratic Republic of Congo\u2019s Virunga National Park, a rare and significant win for this critically endangered species.<\/p><p>Crown Wine Cellars is likewise proud of its record upholding a deep commitment to corporate social responsibility, with a focus on sustainability and community impact. CWC leverages its network of likeminded connections to raise tangible awareness and support for wonderful organisations such as African Parks.<\/p><p>The evening\u2019s resounding success was further underscored by new partnerships and support pledges, embodying CWC\u2019s belief in the power of uniting industry leaders and conservationists to drive meaningful conservation that protect Africa\u2019s iconic landscapes and wildlife for generations to come.<\/p><p>In true CWC tradition, a special bottle of wine was selected and signed by all those present to commemorate this special occasion.&nbsp; This signed bottle is now proudly displayed in our Library.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Crown Wine Cellars has been a long-term supporter of African Parks and is proud to have hosted their Asian Board [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":12,"featured_media":86316,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[31,19],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-86317","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-community-contribution","category-news"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v24.5 -
