Conserving Afrotropical Biodiversity

The Biodiversity Foundation for Africa is a Zimbabwe-based non-governmental organisation comprising regional biodiversity specialists, which undertakes collection, collation and interpretation of organismal biodiversity information.

The BFA is committed to conserving Afrotropical biodiversity through the improvement of scientific knowledge and its incorporation in the planning process.

Previously based in Bulawayo, Zimbabwe, the BFA is not active at present. For queries contact the current Coordinator jonathan@biodiversityfoundation.org.
