The graphs illustrate the major sources of wildlife conservation funding in Africa and South America in 2010 and 2020. The sources mentioned in the chart are: government grants, private donations, corporate sponsorships, and tourism revenue.
In Africa, government grants were a major source of funds in 2010(120) and it had a marginal gain in 2020, moving up to 140. Private donations also follow the same route, increasing from 80 in 2010 to above 100 in 2020. Corporate sponsorships have had the least contribution to the cause in this continent, sitting below 60 in both years. Lastly, tourism revenue has had a massive downgrade by going to just above 80 in 2020 from more than 140 in 2010.
Moving on to South America, government funds also have a huge contribution here like they do in Africa. It had a major surge in 2020(more than 120) from 2010(between 80 and 100). Private donations sat at 60 and upgraded to 80 in those 10 years. Looking at corporate sponsorships, it has moved up from about 70 to about 90 while tourism revenue had a slight increase.
In conclusion, in both continents, government grants have been a huge asset, whereas tourism revenues have been relatively poor. Africa saw an increment in fundings in all of the sources except one as opposed to South America, who upgraded in all of the revenue streams.
