Projects that Inspire
The Kalahari Wildlands Trust conserves the natural and cultural heritage of a vitally important region of the Kavango Zambezi Transfrontier Conservation area in the remote western parts of Botswana. They empower the Bushmen people and work with the government and community to preserve this incredible piece of wilderness.
WILD ENTRUST - Research, Play, Coexist - started in the Okavango (Botswana) over 30 years ago, and this forms part of one of the most important projects out there. Through the Botswana Predator Conservation Trust (Research), Coaching for Conservation (Play) and Community (Coexistence), they cover the key components for sustainable solutions while breaking ground through the innovative work of their bio boundary project, which aims to reduce human and wildlife conflict.

Based out of Victoria Falls in Zimbabwe, the Jafuta foundation focuses on helping humans and animals alike by creating and maintaining equilibrium between community, wildlife, conservation, education and culture.
SANCCOB is the go-to organization for seabird rescue and rehabilitation in South Africa. Their primary focus is saving the critically endangered African Penguin however, they will take in all sea birds. They have decades of experience and because of their excellent work, it is one of the projects I believe in supporting. I have started to help raise funds and also volunteer my time with SANCCOB when possible.
