Conservation Champions
EWT Conservation Champions go out of their way to help us save species, conserve habitats, and benefit people
Saving spots and stripes
Roadkill is a significant threat to wildlife and people. Serval are often struck and killed by cars on the road
Reptile Awareness Day
Safe water, sanitation, and hygiene underpin human, animal, and environmental health. Despite considerable progress in addressing these issues globally, in 2017, approximately 1.6 million people died of diarrheal disease.
Making waves – a wacky new way to whale watch
In a game-changer for marine conservation research, the EWT recently partnered with the University of Pretoria’s Mammal Research Institute (MRI) Whale Unit to use drone technology to conduct critical research on the body conditions and behaviour patterns of Southern Right Whales (Eubalaena australis).
Using conservation canines to save our species from illegal wildlife trade
Illegal Wildlife Trade (IWT) is one of the biggest threats to biodiversity worldwide, and an ongoing poaching surge places particular strain on some of South Africa’s most threatened species.
