Wildlife ACT
Wildlife ACT is a non-profit organisation based in KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa, dedicated to wildlife conservation, focusing primarily on endangered species in Southern Africa. Founded in 2008, the organisation works with both governmental and private Protected Areas to monitor and protect endangered and priority species including the African Wild Dog, Rhino, Cheetah, and Vulture. Their mission is to support long-term conservation efforts through ethical and sustainable practices. By using cutting-edge technology, such as GPS tracking and camera traps, Wildlife ACT collects vital data on animal behaviour, movements, and population trends. This allows them to inform on more effective conservation strategies and provide actionable insights for Protected Area management teams. Wildlife ACT’s impact has continued to extend, as they actively work to promote human-wildlife coexistence, mitigate conflict, and support community involvement in conservation. By combining innovative techniques with grassroots implementation, Wildlife ACT is helping to preserve biodiversity and protect endangered species for future generations.

Through Voluntourism Wildlife ACT’s multi award-winning voluntourism model invites international volunteers to join hands-on conservation efforts in Zululand. Volunteers work alongside Wildlife ACT’s Priority Species Monitors on incredibly diverse Protected Areas, contributing to vital activities such as tracking endangered species, setting up camera traps, and collecting important data for conservation research. The experience is both immersive and educational, with volunteers living on-site and engaging directly in real, on-the-ground ethical conservation efforts. Wildlife ACT’s volunteers are an essential component of the team and are treasured for their passion and contributions. The photographs in this calendar have been generously donated by Wildlife ACT volunteers, offering a glimpse into their time spent conserving endangered species in Zululand.
