A LITTLE MORE INFORMATION
ABOUT US
OUR VISION
We envision a world with wildlife. We work with communities neighboring reserves and national parks to take ownership of the animals surrounding them. If people are educated and exposed to wildlife, they’ll protect it at whatever cost necessary.
WHERE WE WORK
Currently, the majority of our efforts and programs are established in South Africa. With over 30 million South Africans living in poverty, we believe that with an education and introduction to conservation, the locals will choose to love their wildlife and not kill it.
