A Rising Star in conservation ⭐

We’re incredibly proud to share that Carnivores Conservation Field Officer Joseph Hlako has been selected as a finalist for the WESSA Western Cape - Wildlife and Environment Society of South Africa of South Africa Conservation Leadership Awards Rising Star Award.

Joseph’s work is grounded in practical conservation that brings people and wildlife closer to coexistence; from leading our Livestock Guardian Dog programme and supporting farming communities, to advancing the Honey Badger Friendly Initiative and helping protect threatened carnivores.

His energy, leadership and commitment to turning conservation science into real-world impact make this recognition so well deserved.

Congratulations, Joseph...the whole Pack is behind you. 🐾

Safe for now is not the same as home. With only about 6,600 adults remaining in the wild, every African Wild Dog pack matters.

While suitable homes are secured, temporary housing, specialist care and monitoring continue. The Endangered Wildlife Trust also coordinates carefully managed relocations to help form and strengthen packs in suitable landscapes.

Seeing a Lion in the wild is a moment many people dream of. Yet Lions are being poached and targeted for the illegal trade in their body parts. With an estimated 20,000–25,000 remaining in the wild, every loss matters.

Through collaring, monitoring and tracking, the Endangered Wildlife Trust follows Lion movements, identifies threats and helps guide a faster response.

From the field to Rhino Peak, every kilometre has a purpose.

On 19 September, Team EWT will take on the Rhino Peak Challenge, raising funds to support conservation work protecting rhinos, cranes, Bearded Vultures, mountain species, the Drakensberg landscape and its vital water resources.

Thank you to Ford South Africa and the Ford Wildlife Foundation for helping keep our conservation teams moving, both in the field and on the road to Rhino Peak.

The Rhino Peak Challenge is organised by Running Man Adventures, with funds raised supporting the Endangered Wildlife Trust, the Bearded Vulture Recovery Programme and Wildlife ACT.
We climb for conservation.

The work of protecting lions is rarely simple; and much of it happens far from public view.

In this episode of The @ Regenerative Way Podcast, Marnus Roodbol, Project Manager in the Endangered Wildlife Trust’s Carnivore Conservation Unit, explores the realities of lion conservation across Southern Africa.

From poaching and human-wildlife conflict to traditional knowledge, tracking and collaring, the conversation offers an honest look at the coordination, patience and commitment required to keep lions and their landscapes protected.

To most of us, a Lion is an unforgettable sighting. To illegal traders, it is a collection of parts.

The Endangered Wildlife Trust uses collaring, monitoring and tracking to help identify threats and guide faster action.
