Shamwari Foundation

At Shamwari, we don’t just stand for conservation—we walk alongside it. An enduring journey, the
conservation pillar of the Shamwari Foundation pioneers’ projects focused on wildlife rehabilitation,
protection of endangered species, and anti-poaching efforts, to name but a few. Alongside
invaluable partners, we are committed to protecting, restoring and advocating for the precious
wildlife within our care. Every rhino we shield from poachers and each vulture we reintroduce into
the wild are instrumental to the safety of our shared ecosystem for generations to come.

The environmental pillar of the Shamwari Foundation initiates projects that are focused on
conserving natural resources integral to the success and survival of the local (and global)
ecosystem. The employment of sustainable rehabilitation protocols and state-of-the-art resource
management projects ensures the healthy distribution of our natural resources for generations to
come. By remaining at the forefront of global environmental trends, the Shamwari Foundation looks
to set the standard for South African environmental conservation.

The heart of conservation beats beyond the wilderness—it thrives in the hands of the people who
call this land home. And since one cannot exist without the other, the foundation aims to facilitate a
deeper connection and understanding between people and nature. The community pillar of the
Shamwari Foundation focuses on just that. Through job creation, skills development, and
educational programmes community-based projects instil conservation as a way of life. Where
communities and wildlife flourish, side by side.
