Conservation that counts
Well-designed, strategic conservation projects that are underpinned by strong scientific principles provide a robust platform against which to innovate and scale-up conservation impact and financial opportunities linked to this intended success.
Using tools like the Conservation Standards, we can provide strategic support to individuals, teams and organizations to enhance their performance and unlock ways to channel new funding streams into their operations.
Research in action
Using wide-ranging birds, like the Endangered Secretarybird, enables a broad understanding of landscape dynamics and provides a proxy for ecosystem health in open landscapes. Through bird ringing (banding), tracking using solar-powered GPS telemetry and remote monitoring devices such as camera traps, we are unlocking our understanding of how species co-exist with humanity in the ever-shrinking matrix of natural habitats across Africa.
Adventure with us
One of the best ways to learn about the environment is to immerse yourself in it with people who know and understand the natural world.
Join us for our bespoke Reconnect Tours to the destination of your choice. We offer half-day and full day trips, as well as 3-4 night adventures to various destinations around South Africa.
All delicious, sustainably sourced catering is included and itineraries can be planned according to your personal requirements.
“Nature has value - intrinsically, spiritually, ecologically and financially. The true magic lies in finding a way to equate that value across all of these realms.”
— Dr Melissa Whitecross
