About us
Vision A healthy and equitable Africa that values and sustains the diversity of all life. Mission The Endangered Wildlife Trust is dedicated to conserving threatened species and ecosystems in Africa to the benefit of all life. Who we are The EWT is a leading, high-profile player in the arena of conservation. We identify the key factors threatening biodiversity and develop innovative methodologies and best practice guidelines to reduce these and promote harmonious co-existence and sustainable living for both people and wildlife. We achieve our goals through specialist programmes, and our skilled field staff are deployed regionally and throughout southern Africa. What we do Biodiversity conservation has moved from the fringes of social priorities into the centre of political discourse and socio-economic concern. People around the world can no longer ignore the fact that the environment in which we live underpins every single human need, demonstrated every day by both the losses of thousands of lives due to environmental disasters or the lack of access to quality natural resources, as well as by the dependence of millions of lives on their natural surroundings for their sustainability. As one of South Africa’s leading biodiversity conservation organisations, the EWT is striving to facilitate the protection and sustainable use of key ecosystems. The EWT has a cohesive and integrated approach to the conservation of species, habitats and ecosystem processes and we therefore focus much of our work on protecting both threatened species and habitats. Successful conservation thus means protecting the habitats that support species – and human beings – and in this way entire ecosystems, communities and socio-economic structures reap the benefits.

I am proud to highlight the Endangered Wildlife Trust and our role as a key landowner and conservation leader in the Soutpansberg region. EWT's commitment to safeguarding ecosystems and species is deeply rooted in collaboration, innovation, and action on the ground. The presence of the EWT in the area not only strengthens biodiversity conservation but also creates opportunities for sustainable land use, research, and community upliftment. This document captures the critical role EWT plays in shaping a future where people and wildlife thrive together. #ConservationInAction #Biodiversity #SustainableLandUse #LivingLifeLionHearted #EndangeredWildlifeTrust

We’re proud to see our Pack Member Esther Matthew from the EWT’s Drylands Conservation Programme joining the Match Made in Science panel at the 2025 Nature Environment Wildlife Filmmakers Congress, to talk about her research using scent detection dogs. From finding Giant African Bullfrogs underground to helping train South Africa’s first succulent plant detection dogs, Esther’s work uses conservation dogs to uncover some of the country’s most threatened and elusive species. Her groundbreaking efforts have earned her recognition as a National Geographic Society Explorer. A brilliant match of science, species, and story. #NEWF2025 #ScienceMeetsStory #ConservationDogs #WildlifeConservation #EWT National Geographic #AfricaRefocused #ItsStillAThing

Post-release monitoring is a critical step in our carnivore reintroduction efforts. Here, Cole du Plessis from our Carnivore Conservation Programme tracks a recently released pack of African Wild Dogs in his Ranger sponsored by Ford Motor Company South Africa Wildlife Foundation, ensuring they are adapting successfully to their new environment. We monitor key success factors—health, movement patterns, hunting success, and interactions with other predators—to give these endangered animals the best possible chance of survival. This vital work is made possible by MetroFibre.

At Go2Africa, we’re passionate about conservation and supporting brands that make a real impact. That’s why we spent a day in the Winelands with Painted Wolf Wines, a winery that’s doing things right - crafting exceptional South African wines while championing the survival of one of Africa’s most endangered predators: the painted wolf (African wild dog). Through every bottle, Painted Wolf Wines supports the Endangered Wildlife Trust, a leading force in the fight to protect and restore wild dog populations across Africa. With fewer than 7,000 of these remarkable animals left in the wild, every initiative counts. Through our ongoing partnership with EWT, Go2Africa has pledged to donate $20 for every trip booked with us that includes a night at one of our selected Kruger camps. Our donations help provide funding for EWT's conservation projects, including the tracking and monitoring equipment required to provide protection for endangered species such as the vulnerable African wild dog (‘painted wolves') population found in this region. Learn more here: https://lnkd.in/ePdqdQxN Watch our journey as we discover how wine and conservation go hand in hand. Together, we can sip, support, and safeguard Africa’s incredible wildlife. #Go2Africa #PaintedWolfWines #Conservation #EndangeredWildlifeTrust #AfricanWildDogs #WinesForWildlife

In his latest piece for Sunday Times Daily, Kishaylin Chetty, Executive: Head of Sustainability at Endangered Wildlife Trust, unpacks how climate change is eroding both biodiversity and livelihoods along South Africa’s shores. From vulnerable marine habitats to communities facing forced relocation, the urgency to act has never been greater. Read Kish’s full article to understand the impact and why immediate intervention is essential: https://lnkd.in/daPdiXrg #ClimateChange #BiodiversityLoss #CoastalConservation #EWT
