In 2020 our NGO donated 10,000 US$ in two instalments to the „Friends of Hwange“.
Hwange National Park is a huge wilderness area the size of Belgium and borders the Kalahari along its eastern boundary, which accounts for this section of the park being very arid.
Why did we choose to support this very NGO?
We know and have had first-hand experience that its staff:
- work very effectively, as most of their work is done on an honorary or voluntary basis
- everybody actively involved (above all Dave Dell) are endowed with a wealth of knowledge and experience in conservation and animal welfare
- actively promote the fight against poaching and assist APUs and their operations (so that no more elephants will be injured by wire snares)
- support and empower the local populace, thus alleviating the poaching pressure from surrounding communities donate much-needed medication to local health centres have entered a fruitful co-operation with state authorities and private lodges based in the park, allowing measures and operations to be carried out over a wide area
- operate in a very responsible and transparent way which ensures that funding will not be misappropriated and utilised to maximum effect
- have drilled boreholes and built (and maintain) much needed waterholes for wildlife in the arid regions of Hwange National Park
- rescue and treat injured wildlife in accord with the best veterinary standards
