Pete Mattson

VP

As an ACCF co-founder, Pete has specialized in connecting people, partners and philanthropists to long-term solutions that break the cycle of extreme poverty and poaching throughout Africa. Through community relationships, public-private partnerships, global citizens, and frontline workers, he has helped deliver and advance programs that protect human life and wildlife in and around iconic African wilderness areas.

For more than 21 years, his service and leadership experience with nonprofit and commercial organizations have equipped people to see connections among their talents, actions, mission, and success.

“Conservation is not just about the wildlife, it’s about the people. Creating business opportunities for people in rural Africa is a key ingredient to long-term success for our mission. We are proud to work with and support the top experts on the frontlines in Africa who continually influence and equip communities for greater prosperity, in addition to protecting endangered wildlife and wild places.”
