Endangered species protected through conservation efforts

Supporting and driving conservation initiatives in South Africa.

A number of special species conservation projects have been initiated by Nature Connect in order to protect endemic species or groups, which are threatened with extinction. These projects are taking an often innovative approach to protecting some of South Africa’s most threatened fauna and flora.
