Mission and programs · 2022

Mission

Wild Tomorrow Fund's mission is to protect threatened and endangered species and the habitats they depend on for survival in southern Africa. Our vision is for a world in which wildlife habitats are expanded and protected, and where existing reserves have the resources needed to keep their animals safe.

Activities or mission (Part I)

Wild Tomorrow Fund is dedicated to the protection of threatened and endangered species and the habitats they depend on for survival in southern Africa.

  • Habitat Conservation: Wild Tomorrow Fund funds the conservation of land in strategic, biodiverse areas in order to protect and reconnect habitat for wildlife. This includes the protection, restoration and re-wilding of the Greater Ukuwela Nature Reserve, a wildlife corridor in South Africa (including both the Ukuwela and Mfuleni properties).

    Expenses $388,595 · Grants $167,607 · Revenue $113,477

  • Wildlife Protection: Wild Tomorrow Fund provides support for the protection of wildlife at private and government reserves in Southern Africa and at the reserves owned and managed by Wild Tomorrow Fund South Africa. We fund the provision of essential supplies, equipment and training for rangers, anti-poaching teams and conservation managers to enable them to keep wildlife safe. This includes funding wildlife collaring/GPS tags for monitoring elephants, pangolins, rhinos and other threatened species, rhino horn trimming for anti-poaching, and the provision of feed, milk & support for security costs at two regional rhino orphanages.

    Expenses $59,477 · Grants $27,423 · Revenue $32,961

  • Community Support: Wild Tomorrow Fund works to ensure the local people of the Mduku community surrounding Wild Tomorrow Fund South Africa's wildlife conservation area benefit from and are an active part of wildlife conservation. This includes the employment by Wild Tomorrow Fund South Africa of 14 community women, the "Green Mambas", who undertake habitat restoration work at wildlife reserves, and the construction and support of two daycare centers for young children. Through our local partner, Lessons in Conservation, we educate young African children about the importance of nature and conservation

    Expenses $140,937 · Grants $128,918 · Revenue $122,722

  • Guest and Volunteer Conservation Experiences: We operate an international conservation experience program. Volunteers contribute to cover the costs of their experience while also making a donation to support our work. Each volunteer travels to Wild Tomorrow Fund South Africa's reserve where they learn about critical wildlife conservation issues by participating personally in conservation activities.

    Expenses $104,516 · Grants $60,022 · Revenue $67,245

  • Conservation Research: Wild Tomorrow Fund conducts field research on threatened species native to South Africa including the spotted hyena and the suni antelope. We also conduct biodiversity studies at Wild Tomorrow Fund South Africa's reserves in southern Africa. This research is conducted both by our staff scientists and by regional experts.

    Expenses $16,524 · Grants $4,276 · Revenue $12,316
