Today, March 4th, 2026, marks exactly one decade since Wings for Conservation took to the skies. Ten years ago, we began with a single mission: to ensure African wildlife and ecosystems are safe and thriving through vital aerial support.
As we reflect on the past decade, we are incredibly proud of the impact we have made together. Since 2016, our aircraft have served as the eyes in the sky for conservation, achieving over 100 missions across Africa. We co-led the process to create Zah-Soo National Park in Chad, while also providing support to protect many vulnerable elephant populations. We also proudly helped the historic scimitar-horned oryx reintroduction project, watching this iconic species be reclassified from Extinct in the Wild to Endangered, and helped other threatened antelope species recover, such as the dama gazelle and the addax. We helped protect the critically endangered Kordofan giraffe, including discovering a new population, and contributed to too many other projects to name.
None of this would be possible without the support of our partners, donors, and supporters. Thank you for being part of this journey.
We are not slowing down, and our sights are set on our 2030 goal of reaching 200 conservation missions and 3,000 flight hours.
