projects of relevance
Savannah conservation
marine research
|
|
Help us monitor threatened marine life off the coast of Mozambique in the Tofo and Inhambane area. We research whale sharks, leopard sharks, guitar fish, manta rays, stingrays, humpback whales, dolphins, turtles and more! Help discover important information that can help better conserve these threatened species and their marine habitats.
|
reforestation
|
|
We help plant indigenous trees in places that need it. Not only does this reforest areas with native species thereby restoring biodiversity but it also creates awareness about and appreciation for our natural heritage encouraging a conservation ethic. We plant trees at events such as Bushfire and World Environment day, at schools, at community centres and in Nature Reserves.
|
community eco-tourism
|
|
We help communities in rural Eswatini develop eco-tourism facilities and attractions. We also help market these to encourage visitation. This contributes towards natural heritage conservation, community empowerment and socio-economic development. We have worked with various local communities, national partners (including ETA and ENTC) as well as various international partners (including UNDP, CEPF, GEF).
