Our mission
Our mission is to deliver high-integrity nature finance solutions in real-world conservation settings. Through long-term, partnerships on the ground – beginning in Zimbabwe’s Protected Area Network – we aim to create scalable models that protect biodiversity, support livelihoods, and inform the future of global conservation finance.
As part of this mission, AWE established the Chewore Conservation Trust in Zimbabwe to lead the management of the Chewore South pilot project. The Trust serves as the local implementation vehicle, working in close coordination with local communities, national authorities, and credible conservation partners.

Our name and values
Our name stems from our shared awe for nature.
Research shows that experiencing awe – rather than fear or doom – is more likely to motivate positive action. In facing the twin biodiversity and climate crises, we believe that fostering wonder, respect, and connection is essential to driving meaningful change.
This appreciation for something so much greater than ourselves inspires our commitment to protect it. It also underpins the values shown here, which guide how we collaborate, innovate, and work pragmatically to secure a thriving future for nature and people alike.
