SAVING ENDANGERED SPECIES

Key to the survival of our endangered species is ensuring that they are reintroduced to protected areas where they can safely roam and strengthen in number. Wildlife ACT specializes in the safe capture, transportation and reintroduction of endangered species into new areas. Key to the success of this, is the intensive monitoring of these animals on a daily basis to assess how these animals are doing. We have assisted WWF South Africa in the reintroduction of over 200 endangered Black Rhino in the past 3 years alone. We also specialize in implementing tracking devices on the rhinos during the relocation process. This enables us to closely monitor these ancient animals and ensure their safety. The same process apples to all the endangered and priority species we work with.

Since 2010, Wildlife ACT has achieved the following species conservation work:

Over 250 Rhinos fitted with tracking devices

Over 200 Black Rhino relocated to new homes
