On Tuesday, 19 November 2024, Ashleigh Dore, Attorney and the Wildlife and Law Project Manager at Endangered Wildlife Trust and GreenMatter Fellow, presented a seminar at The Australian National University’s School of Regulation and Global Governance. The discussion explored the global and South African impact of wildlife crimes, highlighting a pilot project testing innovative restorative justice approaches for environmental crimes. This initiative is proudly supported by the WWF South Africa Khetha Programme, USAID, GreenMatterZA, the Harry Crossley Foundation, and the The Lewis Foundation.

About us
Vision A healthy planet and an equitable world that values and sustains diversity of all life. Mission The Endangered Wildlife Trust (EWT) is dedicated to conserving threatened species and ecosystems in southern Africa to the benefit of all people. Who we are The EWT is a leading, high-profile player in the arena of conservation. We identify the key factors threatening biodiversity and develop innovative methodologies and best practice guidelines to reduce these and promote harmonious co-existence and sustainable living for both people and wildlife. We achieve our goals through specialist programmes, and our skilled field staff are deployed regionally and throughout southern Africa. What we do Biodiversity conservation has moved from the fringes of social priorities into the centre of political discourse and socio-economic concern. People around the world can no longer ignore the fact that the environment in which we live underpins every single human need, demonstrated every day by both the losses of thousands of lives due to environmental disasters or the lack of access to quality natural resources, as well as by the dependence of millions of lives on their natural surroundings for their sustainability. As one of South Africa’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 – and human beings – and in this way entire ecosystems, communities and socio-economic structures reap the benefits.

In a groundbreaking moment for conservation, the Critically Endangered Amathole Toad has been heard breeding for the first time in decades. In early August, @Bionerds and the Endangered Wildlife Trust (EWT) ventured into the Amathole Mountains near Hogsback to monitor this elusive species, which is found only in a handful of wetlands in the region. Despite the threats of forestry and habitat loss, this remarkable discovery offers renewed hope. The EWT is collaborating with local farmers to safeguard these critical wetlands, with plans underway to establish a Nature Reserve centered on the toad's survival. Stay tuned for more updates as efforts continue to protect this rare and vital species. Special thanks to BIONERDS, our dedicated farmers, and funders Rainforest Trust, Synchronicity Earth, and Anglo American. #Conservation #Wetlands #AmatoleToad #Frogs #ThreatenedSpecies #Discovery #Toads #Hogsback #WildlifeConservation #ProtectingForeverTogether

With Geographical Information Systems (GIS) Day celebrated globally today, we recognize how GIS are empowering individuals and organizations to address pressing global challenges. Given that human activities impact 75% of the world’s land, biodiversity is under severe threat, especially for species inhabiting fragile ecosystems. Strategic development must play a central role in reversing this trend, and GIS tools offer the precision and data-driven insights needed to foster effective solutions. Developed by the EWT's Science Unit, the "Threatened Species No-Go Mapping Tool," launched in 2021, is a powerful example of GIS technology in action. Created using advanced GIS software, this free resource enables planners to identify and avoid harmful developments in critical habitats. By integrating detailed spatial data, the tool empowers conservationists to prioritize and protect unprotected areas, ensuring that biodiversity thrives even in a rapidly changing world.

After a decade of dedicated service, Buks, one of our Livestock Guardian Dogs, is retiring. This incredible dog has protected his herd from predators, ensuring not a single goat was lost under his watch. He even became a star on 50/50 and featured in a BBC documentary! Now, Buks will enjoy his golden years on the farm he has tirelessly protected. #Livestock #WorkingDogs #CaninesInConservation #Conservation #Canines #ProtectionDogs #Retirement #Wildlife #ProtectingWildlife #ProtectingForeverTogether
