LIFE ON LAND
The reduction of human impact to our natural environment is most notably achieved through anti-poaching activities (including wire and snare removals). We also focus on habitat restoration of protected areas in both the Greater Kruger Area of South Africa and Zanzibar, Tanzania.
How We Measure Our Impact
Our dedicated African Impact base teams, volunteers and interns methodically record the impact of their activities that relate to supporting the Global Goals, or SDGs. Whether weighing litter from beach pick-ups, measuring wires removed from reserves in the Greater Kruger or recording hours spent educating young girls and boys on gender equality – our fingers are on the pulse of our impact.
