Incubation

Strengthening conservation capacity through partnership and knowledge exchange.

Forgotten Parks Foundation participates in the African Parks Incubation Programme, an initiative designed to support conservation organisations managing complex protected areas.

The programme provides guidance, mentorship and operational support to help emerging conservation partners strengthen governance, management systems and long-term sustainability.

For Upemba, incubation supports professionalisation of operations while maintaining local leadership and ownership. It helps translate long-term conservation vision into practical, effective management on the ground.

Through shared knowledge and collaboration, organisations are able to build stronger foundations for ecological recovery and operational stability.

Incubation ensures that conservation efforts grow not only in scale, but also in resilience and institutional strength.
