No Other Organisation in Africa Does What We Do

WeWild Africa was founded in 2019 by veteran conservation experts with 100+ years collective experience in wildlife conservation in Africa. We have worked in some of the most challenging places and situations in the world, with a never-give-up mindset. Through partnerships with key stakeholders and committed organizations and reserves, WeWild Africa is able to make decisions quickly and provide seemingly impossible solutions. Since 2019 the organization has directly impacted over 1000 animals through rescue or rewilding.

 
 
 

A Sense of Urgency

Too often animals are left to die due to bureaucratic delays, permitting issues, and fundraising challenges. Our team offers these animals a lifeline, being responsive and capable of addressing urgent situations effectively.

 

Conservation Veterans

Together, our founding members have over 100 years of expertise in conservation management and wildlife rewilding, demonstrating our deep commitment to holistic landscape management, wildlife translocations, rescue operations, and curbing illegal wildlife trade.

Ego-Free Collaboration

In an environment where NGO collaboration is rare, we distinguish ourselves through ego-free collaboration. We partner directly with local, provincial, and national governments, we bridge gaps and build trust by offering vital skills and enhancing capacity. We avoid an iron-fist approach, always prioritizing wildlife as our number one concern.

 

Pioneering Approach

We embrace bold strategies in our approach from urgent emergency interventions, state-owned reserves requiring management support, and captive facilities wishing to reintegrate animals back into the wild. We implement fearless and dynamic plans, always ready to start from ground zero.

 
 

Funding Resources

From gorillas and pangolins to elephants and cheetahs, WeWild Africa engages with a diverse range of stakeholders, bridging the gap and providing essential skills, capacity, and resources to partners in conservation in need – putting the wellbeing of animals first, always.
