CONSERVATION CHAMPIONS – REZA JOSEPH

Tammy Baker, EWT Business Development Officer, tammyb@ewt.org.za

As a conservation NGO, we are reliant on the generosity and efforts of others to keep our staff in the field doing what they do best, conservation in action. Many of our corporate supporters are facing financial challenges as a result of Covid-19, and this affects us significantly. We need support now more than ever and appeal to you to become a Conservation Champion for the EWT by joining our fundraising pack.

Reza Joseph is the most recent addition to our league of Conservation Champions.

After following our work and joining our “Meet the Cheetah’s” Wild Chat, Reza realised how important the conservation of this cat is and launched a Back A Buddy campaign to raise funds for the relocation of Cheetah back onto Rietvlei Reserve. Check out and support Reza’s campaign here https://www.backabuddy.co.za/champion/project/cheetah-range-extension-project-rietvlei There are lots of ways in which you can help raise vital funds for conservation, in your own home or community.

Host an online dinner party or wine tasting just for fun or to celebrate a special occasion “donate” your birthday to the EWT by asking for contributions instead of gifts, organise a virtual race, or get creative and come up with a fundraising challenge of your own. By challenging yourself, or supporting others who do so, you will help to ensure that our work continues as it should. It’s free, and it’s fun, and you can make a real difference. We need you now more than ever to help us to continue to protect forever, together. To get started, contact Tammy Baker at TammyB@ewt.org.za

A word from the CEO May 2023

It is widely known that plastic, in its various forms, can be found in every ecosystem, on every surface and in every corner of the planet. It leaches toxins and strangles wildlife; it chokes waterways and animals. Microplastics negatively affect all life, humans included. Yet we keep manufacturing them; worse, we keep discarding them recklessly and frivolously, as if they were leaves on the wind. Every single human being has a role to play here. We all need to buy less plastic, use less plastic, demand less plastic, and, most important, discard it responsibly.
