Our objective is the protection of biodiversity through habitat expansion.
We identify the most important habitats for incorporation into the protected area with models for sustainable habitat and wildlife conservation, protection and community benefaction. We work with philanthropic partners and donors to raise the funds to purchase the land which is owned and managed in conservation and community trust, so that it is protected forever.
We work in the Eastern Cape of South Africa at the convergence point of two, out of 36 global, biodiversity hotspots, where the Cape Floristic Kingdom meets the Mputuland, Pondoland, Albany biosphere.
These biodiversity hotspots comprise only 2.5% of the Earths surface, but are home to almost half the world’s endemic bird, mammal, reptile and amphibian species.
A biodiversity hotspot must support at least 1500 endemic plants, with less than 30% of the original vegetation currently protected.
The global target is to have at least 30% of habitat in biodiverse hotspots protected and under conservation management by 2030.
