Current Projects

Equipment

Providing the equipment to conduct various priority research projects in southern African, including radio telemetry collars, camera traps, capture equipment, and vehicles. 

Suni Antelope

Determining  the population size of the endangered suni antelope. Suni is one of the smallest antelope in the world (<14 inches) and is suffering from rapid declines in their population. 

Elephant Populations

 Studying how climate change is impacting elephant populations. This project will help us to protect and manage essential habitats for long term elephant survival.

 

Lion Management

Enhancing the conservation of lions in Mozambique by mitigating the most serious threats to the wild lion populations, including poaching, poisoning, and snaring. 

 

Cheetah Project

Development of diagnostic tests for TB infection in Cheetah populations is underway. This is necessary for successful management of the disease across the wildlife reserves. 

 

Hyena Study

The Spotted Hyena Project is being conducted using camera traps and telemetry. This study will collect data on the  home range, diet, mortality, and population trends of a wild hyena population. 

Chimpanzee

 Providing volunteers to the Tacugama Chimpanzee Sanctuary in Sierra Leone, West Africa.  Rescued chimps are rehabilitated and rewilded.

Provided funding for education, research, and artificial nest building

Pangolin Rehabitation

Provided funds to Umoya Khulula Wildlife Centre to rehabitate and release to the wild injured or captured pangolins
