Saving Endangered Species - Wildlife ACT
Key to the survival of our endangered species is ensuring that they are reintroduced to protected areas where they can safely roam and strengthen in number.
Wildlife ACT
Key to the survival of our endangered species is ensuring that they are reintroduced to protected areas where they can safely roam and strengthen in number. <anchor>Wildlife ACT</anchor> specializes in the safe capture, transportation and reintroduction of endangered species into new areas. Key to the success of this, is the intensive monitoring of these animals on a daily basis to assess how these animals are doing. We have assisted WWF South Africa in the reintroduction of over 200 endangered Black Rhino in the past 3 years alone. We also specialize in implementing tracking devices on the rhinos during the relocation process. This enables us to closely monitor these ancient animals and ensure their safety. The same process apples to all the endangered and priority species we work with.

# What we do

We are a team of experienced conservationists - rolling up our sleeves and getting our hands dirty working in the field 365 days a year - to save our endangered and threatened wildlife from extinction. We are an efficient team stretching every cent to make sure it is utilized in meaningful and focused conservation work. Our main focus is on endangered species such as Black Rhino, Painted Dogs and Vultures as well as priority species including Cheetah, Elephant, Lion, Leopard and Hyena.

## Through strategic partnerships and sustainable funding models, we:

- Implement professional and strategic monitoring and research to enable and inform effective conservation management of wildlife;
- Identify and develop programmes within surrounding communities to support biodiversity conservation and socioeconomic development;
- Secure existing protected areas and support range expansion of African wildlife.
