| - The Nigerian Conservation Foundation is an environmental non-governmental organization which works to preserve the natural resources and biodiversity of Nigeria. The Foundation was founded in 1980 by Shafi Edu and has worked since then on a number of resource management and conservation projects across Nigeria. Chief Ede Dafinone is the current Chairman of the Foundation and Dr. Muhtari Aminu-Kano is the Director-General. One of the founders was Akintola Williams.The Akintola Williams Arboretum at the Nigerian Conservation Foundation headquarters in Lagos is named in his honor.The Foundation is involved in conservation efforts on a number of fronts. It engages in lobbying work both at the national and state levels. It also has a number of educational initiatives both to raise awareness of environmental issues in Nigeria and to encourage sustainable practices. It works with higher education, primary and secondary schools, and with the general public through local initiatives in target areas. Its scientific staff is engaged in research and management plans in reserves, parks, and wildlife habitats across the country. It also advises industries on sustainable development and environmental impacts for their projects in Nigeria. The foundation also promotes environmental tourism with the goal of expanding awareness of Nigeria's natural resources and also creating economic incentives for continued and expanded preservation. The Nigerian Conservation Foundation (NCF) has called on all Nigerians to take very useful urgent actions in conserving the remaining species of the Pangolin and it seeks help of all concerned Nigerians in creating huge awareness about the need for pangolin conservation. The NCF has partnerships with a number of international environmental groups including the World Wildlife Fund, the International Union for Conservation of Nature, BirdLife International, Wetlands International, Fauna and Flora International, and the Wildlife Conservation Society. It has also partnered with several industry groups including Chevron and BG Group on issues involving Nigeria's growing oil and gas industry. The NCF established Lekki Conservation Centre in 1990 which houses the National Secretariat of the foundation while their regional office is in Calabar, Cross River state in Nigeria. In 1992, the National conservation Foundation was recognized by the UN Environmental Program, which added it to its Global 500 Roll of Honour, a group of individuals and organizations making important contributions to the environment. According to Climate Score Card, "NCF is regarded as one of the best environmental NGOs in the country. Currently, they have projects in 9 different states ranging from the Participatory Forest Management Project in Taraba State to Management of Becheve Nature Reserve, Obudu Cattle Ranch, Obudu, Cross River State . Their best practice climate project would have to be the Biodiversity Action Plan (BAP) in Edo state." (en)
