WE ARE THE WILD

We work for the WILD places, the open spaces, on land and sea,

the green and blue places, oases among our sprawling cities

We work for the resilience of species, restoring and regenerating the ecosystems so that they can thrive.

We work for the upliftment of people and communities, empowering

livelihoods that provide dignity and a future for families.

We respect the inter-connectedness of all things.

We are The WILD

Bringing humankind and nature back into balance,

reducing the impacts of humanity, while providing opportunities for people.

We connect, we regenerate, we restore, we empower,

People and Planet.

Thriving and Resilient.

Now. Tomorrow. Forever.

We are The WILD

VISION & MISSION

WILDTRUST (registered as the Wildlands Conservation Trust – IT No.4329/1991/PMB) is a South African Non-Profit, Non-Government and Public Welfare Organisation, established in 2004 through the merger of two regional Trusts. It pursues the realisation of its vision of “A thriving and resilient world” through two core programmes: WILDLANDS and WILDOCEANS.

WILDLANDS focuses on conserving terrestrial biodiversity, empowering and uplifting communities through training as well as the protection of wildlife.

WILDOCEANS focuses on marine conservation, advocating for healthy oceans, marine protected areas and the conservation of marine species. Furthermore, WILDOCEANS conducts extensive research and training for future marine experts and policy makers.

From humble roots in the KwaZulu-Natal Province the Trust has expanded its footprint across Southern Africa, with projects as far afield as Mozambique and the Comoros. The WILDTRUST continues to explore innovative conservation and development pathways that underline the interconnectedness between people and planet.
