AFAP has partnered with NGOs throughout their network to protect and maintain invaluable ecosystems in Africa, Asia and the Pacific. Increased awareness about threats to the environment, and subsequent programs to protect it, not only maintains the beauty and resources of these fragile ecosystems, it also provides additional sources of income to local communities through activities such as tourism and improved agricultural production.

The environment programs focus on a wide variety of areas including, but not limited to, the Forest Garden program, coastal and coral management programs, recycling, ecotourism and the preservation of national parks and endangered animals.
