Keeping Maun clean, one litter pick at a time!

Maun residents are changing their ways. The bins are full.

Following the launch of our Feed the Bin movement in September, we are gaining momentum by supporting the Presidents monthly national clean up campaign with litter picks around Maun.

Last Friday, people were back on the streets, doing their part to keep our town clean.

A cleaner Maun starts with all of us, and every little effort makes a difference!

Feed the bin, Not the streets!

Our Botswana Predator Conservation researcher, Keneilwe, recently took part in the University of Mpumalanga-University of Botswana (UMP-UB) exchange programme at the Skukuza Science Leadership Initiative in Kruger National Park, South Africa.

During the programme, she had the opportunity to present her research, connect with fellow students and explore different approaches to biodiversity conservation.

"The UMP-UB exchange was an eye-opening experience that allowed me to look at biodiversity conservation beyond my usual setting. Engaging with different perspectives, environments, and approaches reminded me how much there is to learn when we step outside our familiar spaces."

Experiences like these help strengthen connections, encourage knowledge sharing and support the development of conservation researchers.

A bag for school, a light for learning.

We work with Habu Primary School to support children’s education and encourage pride in caring for their belongings. This year, 84 Grade 1 and Grade 5 learners received book bags, generously donated by Xigera Safari Lodge.

Grade 5 learners also received solar lights to study at home, while Grade 7 learners received mathematical sets, chocolate and good luck messages.

Thank you, Xigera Safari Lodge for supporting our work with the Habu community.

As nature's clean-up crew, vultures play an important role in healthy ecosystems, helping to clear carcasses and keep our environment clean.

At Wild Entrust, vultures are also teachers.

Through our Coaching Conservation programme, children learn about the different roles vultures play, the threats they face, and why healthy ecosystems matter to all of us.

Because when we understand how connected we are to wildlife, we're more likely to care for it.

This International Vulture Awareness Day, we're celebrating one of nature's most misunderstood and most important birds.

This week, 20 African wild dogs were poisoned in the Okavango. A devastating loss for one of Africa’s most endangered predators. Here’s our co-founder Lesley McNutt addressing this heartbreaking situation.

We work alongside communities to find practical ways for people, livestock and wildlife to live together, reducing conflict and protecting livelihoods. Through Coaching for Conservation, we inspire kids to care about themselves, each other and the natural world around them.

How far would you go to make a difference?

In 2025, conservation took us across dusty roads, wild landscapes, and the entire North-West District.

From over 30,000 km logged by our researchers collecting vital data and monitoring large carnivores, to 30,000 km covered by our coaches bringing play-and-sport based conservation education to schools, and 2,963 km patrolled by our Wildlife Scouts to help prevent human-wildlife conflict and aid animals safely navigate barriers like the buffalo fence. Every kilometre tells a story.

These distances represent more than travel. They represent dedication, teamwork, and our commitment to a future where people and wildlife thrive together.
