Help WILDLIFE ACT FUND TRUST by donating equipment for our children's education & conservation awareness camps

Here's a little more info about this opportunity...

The mission of Wildlife ACT Fund is to create and conduct conservation education programs in communities that border protected areas in order to help preserve biodiversity, with particular focus on stabilizing populations of rhinos and other endangered species imperilled by poaching activity. Please visit our website to see what we have achieved thus far with our Community Conservation Programs. While anti-poaching and rhino rescue efforts are crucial to the immediate fight, the Rhino War will ultimately be won through education in the end. When communities that live on the borders of rhino reserves understand why rhinos need to be conserved, how they can benefit from rhino conservation, and why poaching is unsustainable, a buffer zone of friendly forces is created around each rhino population and the other endangered species living alongside them, making poaching less and less likely, until one day poaching is a thing of the past. To help address the issues around rhino conservation, Wildlife ACT has initiated Community Conservation Projects around five game reserves in Zululand where critical rhino populations and other endangered species need protection. We offer ways for local communities to form a bond of understanding, appreciation and stewardship with rhinos and other wildlife, through: • Educational Game Drives into neighbouring game reserves • Educational Overnight Bush Camps in neighbouring game reserves • Community Conservation Presentations • In-School Conservation Lessons • Wildlife Ambassador Clubs Some of the items we need for our classes & educators are: * 1 x portable projector * 1 x portable projector screen * 1 x Speaker * 3 x digital cameras and SD cards * 3 x Smart Phones (with WhatsApp) * 2 x Laptops (with 500GB harddrive, WiFi capability, Windows and Microsoft office)
