we're returning to SA!

Our mission is to aid in the conservation and protection of wild species through wildlife officer training, equipment and supply donations, habitat preservation initiatives, and public outreach.  From our volunteers to our board members, everyone at Wildlife Defense is committed to this mission. 

Our team is made up of dedicated and knowledgeable individuals who are passionate about preserving not just endangered species, but all species.
