The EWT fills the key niche of conservation action, through applied field-work, research and direct engagement with stakeholders. Vision
A healthy and equitable Africa that values and sustains the diversity of all life. Mission
The Endangered Wildlife Trust is dedicated to conserving threatened species and ecosystems in Africa to the benefit of all. The EWT is registered as a Non-Profit Organisati

on, registration number 015-502 NPO and PBO Registration No 930 001 777. The EWT is a proud member of the International Union for Conservation of Nature and the United Nations Global Compact. As one of South Africaā€™s leading biodiversity conservation organisations, the EWT is striving to facilitate the protection and sustainable use of key ecosystems. The EWT has a cohesive and integrated approach to the conservation of species, habitats and ecosystem processes and we therefore focus much of our work on protecting both threatened species and habitats. Successful conservation thus means protecting the habitats that support species ā€“ and human beings ā€“ and in this way entire ecosystems, communities and socio-economic structures reap the benefits. The EWT believes that sustainable conservation requires inclusive approaches, to not only address biodiversity objectives, but also the interests of the people and industries relying on the ecosystems services. This we do by developing innovative and adaptive conservation and management solutions, aligned and compatible with the broader economic and social imperatives of the region.

Meet Reaper.

Clever, agile, and steady under pressure, Reaper is built for serious detection work.
She can work in demanding environments, including airport cargo operations, helping detect smuggled wildlife products quickly, safely, and effectively. Because when it comes to detection, nothing beats a dogā€™s nose.

And when the job is done, Reaper still gets to be a dogā€¦ with time to play, roam, and reset.

Good dog. Serious job. Help us keep dogs like Reaper working. https://f.mtr.cool/frzahbweyy

Working in the field means exposure to the elements, and that includes fleas and ticks.

For the Endangered Wildlife Trustā€™s Conservation Canine Unit, keeping our dogs protected is part of keeping them operational, healthy, and ready for the work they do in support of wildlife conservation.

Thank you to Bravecto South Africa for supporting our canine team with extended flea and tick protection. Reliable protection helps ensure our dogs can keep doing what they do best.

Because healthy dogs are working dogs.

What if South Africaā€™s most overlooked climate infrastructure is already alive?

This World Environment Day, Kishaylin Chetty, Executive: Head of Sustainability at the Endangered Wildlife Trust, asks us to look differently at the natural systems that protect us.

Wetlands, grasslands, rivers and wildlife are not separate from South Africaā€™s climate response.

They are part of it.

As climate change intensifies, conservation is not a luxury to be considered later. It is one of the ways we protect people now.

Good dog. Serious job. But what do they do?

Across the Endangered Wildlife Trust, our working dogs support some of conservationā€™s most specialised and practical fieldwork.

From detection, tracking, and anti-poaching support, to research and rediscovery, to livestock protection that helps reduce conflict, each role brings something different to the work of conservation.

Fast, practical, and highly effective, our canine colleagues help make conservation work smarter in the field.

Different jobs. One mission.
Their work protects wildlife. Your support keeps them working. https://f.mtr.cool/gkpsanfvhj

Nothing beats a dogā€™s nose.

When it comes to searching vehicles, transport hubs, and high-pressure environments, trained dogs help teams work faster, smarter, and more effectively.

They can detect what the human eye cannot easily see, saving time, effort, and resources while helping protect wildlife.

Good dog. Serious job.
Help us keep these dogs working.
