Objectives

Our organization is for public benefit. Our beneficiaries are international and focused in the Zambezi Region of Southern Africa.  

Vision: Local and international communities across Southern Africa working together through effective management, to ensure natural ecosystems are sustained to the benefit of all.

We provide support to projects in this area that focus on:
1) Wildlife Rescue, Rehabilitation and Release back into the wild
2) Community Outreach through Preventing and Mitigating Human Wildlife Conflict, One Health, and Conservation Education
3) Wildlife Research and Management
4) Wildlife Disease Diagnostics and Forensics 

Our help matters to improve livelihoods in some of the most marginalized countries in Africa. We work to conserve ecosystems and wildlife and find ways for humans and wildlife to co-exist, to try and protect biodiversity and ecosystem health.
