Give a gift to Africa’s wildlife this festive season

21 Nov 2012 |

Give a gift that matters this Christmas!

Shopping for a good cause is becoming more and more popular. Instead of giving a material gift, why not make a donation to our wildlife Fund in honour of the receiver. We’ll even create a personalised certificate for each donation! With so many threats to our planet and so many causes to support, it can often become overwhelming. That’s why we are making it as easy as possible for you to help us to save South Africa’s endangered species this festive season.

Wildlife ACT runs critically endangered and priority species conservation work on five game reserves in Zululand. We monitor animals such as cheetah, African wild dog, rhino, lion, elephant and leopard. Look out for our ‘Limited Edition’ wildlife shopping  bags in Woolworths. They make great Christmas prezzie carry bags!

Underdogs

We are all custodians of this beautiful planet that we call home and it is, therefore, up to each and every one of us to ensure that we respect, value and protect it. By working together we can ensure that species such as black rhino, African painted dogs, cheetahs and vultures are conserved for generations to come.

Have a safe and happy festive season!
