The BFA is a Zimbabwe-registered non-profit Trust formed in Bulawayo in 1992 by a group of scientists and environmentalists. The group works in collaboration with scientists and institutions in the south and central African region, UK and the USA.
It consists of a number of professional affiliates internationally recognised in their fields. Most are taxonomists and ecologists based in the region.
Among them, these individuals have many years of experience in their discipline and access to a wide knowledge base, much of which has not been formally published.
