The EGY–AFRICA Wildlife & Flora Export Program (EAFEP) is a specialized, ethical, and sustainability-driven initiative designed to regulate, develop, and support the export of wildlife species (where legally permitted) as well as plants, trees, and seedlings from Egypt to African countries.

The program operates within a strict legal, environmental, and ethical framework, ensuring full compliance with national laws, CITES regulations, international environmental conventions, and African biodiversity protection policies.
It aims to strengthen intra-African trade, promote responsible use of natural resources, and position Egypt as a regional hub for sustainable biological exports.
