Mission
Wildlife ACT is a conservation organisation based in KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa, that focuses on on-the-ground endangered species conservation efforts, the daily monitoring of priority species within protected areas, and the management of human-wildlife conflict, and the promotion of community involvement in conservation. Of particular focus for the organisation is the critically endangered African Wild Dog and Black Rhino, as well as the six Vulture species found in South Africa - of which, several are critically endangered. Through the help of their voluntourism model, Wildlife ACT has been able to provide sustained, free professional monitoring services to more than ten Zululand protected areas for 15 years, as well as contributing endangered species management across Africa, and the restoration of North Island, Seychelles. Wildlife ACT's mission is to save our planet's endangered wildlife and wildlands from extinction. Our aim is to develop and implement innovative, ground based and sustainable conservation models that save our wildlife, protect our wilderness, and benefit our local communities. Our quest is to create inspiring connections with the wilderness, giving people pragmatic ways to support and be part of effective on-the-ground conservation work. Our promise: Real, honest conservation where it's needed most. Through strategic partnerships, sustainable funding models and developing technology: - Implement strategic monitoring and research to inform and enable effective conservation management of wildlife. - Understand the needs of surrounding communities, and develop innovative programs to facilitate socio-economic advancement. - Use Africa-centric, people oriented models to drive wild area expansion. Another essential aspect of Wildlife ACT's mandate lies at the interface of managing human-wildlife conflict and encouraging community conservation efforts. Many people living adjacent to South Africa's protected areas and national parks have only
