Where your gift goes

Okavango Delta and northern Botswana

African wild dog

Our lead cause: tracking packs, helping farmers live alongside them, and safer roads for every pack.

US$100 helps run a camera trap at a den site through the denning season
The story

Botswana holds around a third of the African wild dogs left in the wild. They range across hundreds of kilometres, so they leave the parks and meet farmland, roads, snares and disease from village dogs. Your gift supports pack tracking with collars, camera traps and guest photos, predator-proof kraals and quick help for cattle farmers, and vaccinating village dogs against rabies and distemper. We name our conservation partner here as soon as the agreement is signed.

Chobe and northern Botswana

White-backed vulture

Rapid response to poisoning and satellite tags that show where vultures need safe skies.

US$100 helps train a community member as a poison responder
The story

White-backed vultures are Critically Endangered. One poisoned carcass can kill dozens in an afternoon: in 2022 two incidents in Chobe killed 93. Your gift supports rapid-response teams and poison kits for rangers and communities, satellite tags that reveal where vultures feed and nest, and work with farmers and herders to report, not poison. We name our conservation partner here as soon as the agreement is signed.

Sponsor this
Kalahari and northern Botswana

Temminck's ground pangolin

Rescue, vet care and safe release for pangolins taken from traffickers.

US$250 helps pay for vet care after a rescue
The story

The pangolin is the most trafficked wild mammal on earth. In Botswana they live quietly in the Kalahari and the north, and are taken for their scales and meat. Your gift supports vet care and rehabilitation for rescued pangolins, tracking released pangolins back in the wild, and community and school awareness against trafficking. We name our conservation partner here as soon as the agreement is signed.
