Just 17 years ago, @majetewildlifereserve was an empty forest with little wildlife and only 12 poorly equipped scouts to defend what remained. But in 2003, the Malawi Government made the decision to restore Majete and return it to its Big 5 status in partnership with African Parks. Aside from reintroducing more than 3,200 animals of 16 different species, Majete’s priority was the implementation of community engagement and development projects to ensure its stability. Over the years the reserve reached thousands of people through its awareness campaigns on issues ranging from conservation to gender inequality; funded more than 6,000 students to visit as part of its environmental education programme, trained more than 700 beekeepers and funded health clinics. These projects have not only succeeded in ensuring communities experience tangible benefits from the reserve’s existence but also in instilling a sense of ownership and conservation value of its wildlife. So much so that not one rhino or one elephant has been poached since 2003. And just this year three pangolins found outside the reserve were voluntarily surrendered to park management for safe release within its boundary. As one of the most heavily trafficked animals on the planet, the voluntary safe keeping of these pangolins represents the pinnacle of the relationship Majete has built with surrounding communities – a mutually beneficial one where both people and wildlife play an active role in securing a future for one another. . This work in Majete is made possible by our partnership with the DNPW and our generous donors including @dfid_uk, @statedept, @wwfbelgium, and @wyss_campaign #africanparks #majete #malawi #communitydevelopment #communityconservation #conservation #goodnews

RECOVERING A SUBSPECIES Without dedicated conservation action, the southern fringe-eared oryx is at risk of becoming locally extinct in Tanzania’s Tarangire ecosystem. Over the past few decades, the local population of this subspecies has declined from around 2,400 individuals to as few as 300 today. Our holistic approach to conservation is helping to bring the fringe-eared oryx back. We’re partnering with local communities to preserve and regenerate local grasslands and to fight bushmeat poaching, which many believe has been a significant threat to the oryx. We’re also excited to be partnering with @tanzaniaparks to learn more about these rather mysterious animals. By collaring the fringe-eared oryx, we’ll be able to learn about their larger movement patterns, study their social behaviors, and identify priority sites for oryx conservation in the greater Tarangire ecosystem. The collars have been delayed due to COVID-19, but we look forward to sharing updates on this critical project as soon as we can.

The well-known Boulders Beach is home to many African Penguins; this is also the only place in the world that has this species of penguins, making it a pleasure to explore. The beach is a great place for the whole family and for the brave, taking a dip in the sea is refreshing during the hot summer months. You will also get the opportunity to explore the unbelievably beautiful rock pools. There’s a small conservation fee to be paid to enter, but is worth it to enjoy unique quality time with your loved ones in this amazing environment. Thanks for this beauty image @serenaverbon. #MeetSouthAfrica #InstaTraver #Explore #ExperienceSouthAfrica #SouthAfrica #IgersTravel #WesternCape
