PLEASE SELECT PREFERRED CURRENCY FROM DROP DOWN OPTIONS.

Dinokeng Big 5 Game Reserve
The project supports the efforts of the Dinokeng Big 5 Game Reserve anti-poaching units (APUs) helping to protect 21,000 hectares of habitat and wildlife.
As the Covid-19 lockdowns put further economic pressure on communities living around the park, incidences of poaching and snaring have increased. The need for subsistence survival is real, however small snares intended for antelope can have larger consequences, such as the four year old lion that was caught in an antelope snare that died slowly over days. To cover such a large area, better tracking and communication tools are required for the brave men who protect this land.
The support program has three pillars:
DIRECT SUPPORT
Purchasing of modern equipment to improve communications and tracking, cameras, fortified fencing, horses (for patrols) and more.
EDUCATION
Support the Big 5 School Collective, an early childhood development program for the children of Kekana Gardens, an area surrounding the park
COMMUNITY OUTREACH
Highlighting the benefits that the reserve brings to the community including employment, feeding schemes and education, tourism, investment and how poaching destroys these benefits. i.e. to involve the community in reducing the enticement to poach
The project is being initiated in conjunction with wildlife.page – an organisation that informs, inspires and motivates the world about wildlife and why its conservation is critical to the future of humanity. Wildlife.page publishes a blog and newsletter aimed at making scientific articles and research accessible to the general public, hoping to inspire the next generation of conservationists.
