Critical conservation decisions every day
On the introduction of southern white rhinos to neighbouring countries. On saving one of the world’s most unique botanical kingdoms from climate change. And on the role of humans in keeping the country’s ecosystems alive.
This is why WWF is here.
WWF-South Africa supports more than 100 projects which are organised into 10 programmes focusing on international and national priorities. These programmes are Marine, Freshwater, Grasslands, Fynbos, Conservation Education, Succulant Karoo, Forests, Species and Climate Change & Toxics.
