Summary
Our project aims to secure “Safe Spaces” in South Africa’s West Coast and Anysberg regions, protecting heavily trafficked succulent species and fostering community-led conservation initiatives. By implementing and expanding on a successful pilot model, this project will secure 40,000 hectares of habitat, create a robust surveillance network, and empower local landowners and anti-poaching partners through targeted capacity-building programs. We will also promote awareness through education, mobilise community reporting systems, and enhance criminal justice processes using restorative justice approaches.
Exciting news - we're recruiting for a Chair for the Illegal Wildlife Trade (IWT) Challenge Fund Advisory Group (IWTAG). Find out how to apply by clicking below.
