PAMS Foundation

About us

PAMS Foundation is a non-profit conservation organization whose mission is to empower the people who protect wildlife and wild places. It was founded in Tanzania in 2009, by Krissie Clark, Dr. Ally Namangaya and Wayne Lotter with a vision to enable a world in which people understand the value of nature, have the necessary support to peacefully co-exist with wildlife, and where wildlife and wild places are secure.
We are registered as an International NGO in Tanzania, a 501 (c)(3) charity in the USA and a non-profit in Italy. Our on-the-ground work is done primarily in Tanzania.
