This website aims to achieve three things:

1. To create awareness within the general public in relation to wildlife poaching.
The problem of poaching is extensive and therefore difficult to encompass within one website without losing direction. The focus of this site is on some of the primary issues facing the regions we are currently helping or aim to assist in the future. A theory we want to dispel is that large scale poaching is not a matter of individuals poaching to feed their family, rather well organized crime syndicates flooding the commercial market with their commodities.

2. To provide a platform through which the public can genuinely make a direct impact on the front line in the ongoing battle against poachers.
Many topics and projects mentioned in the website are third world issues with governments therefore unable to devote the required resources needed to challenge hard-line poachers. The foundation understands the issue is much deeper than the battle taking place on the front line, but aims to emphasize that this is the only place where donations can make an immediate difference to dwindling wildlife numbers.

3. To provide a point of contact for those requiring training and other assistance.
Only through training, equipping and educating affected communities can we decelerate the issue until governments intervene with more resources, tougher regulations and penalties for poachers, and funding for alternate methods. Contact us today to arrange a meeting and discuss how we can assist you.
