The Endangered Wildlife Trust

Founded in 1973, the Endangered_Wildlife_Trust_(EWT) is dedicated to conserving threatened species and ecosystems in southern Africa to the benefit of all people.

The EWT identifies priority conservation needs, and establishes and facilitates dedicated, multi-stakeholder Working Programmes to carry out EWT's activities. This includes research, mitigating threats to species, sustainable natural resource management and development, as well as increasing environmental awareness, and advocacy.

The EWT has been conducting important Wild Dog research on the Venetia Limpopo Nature Reserve since 2001, and the reserve forms part of South Africa’s national Wild_Dog_Metapopulation. Additional conservation projects were kicked off in 2007, including research into carnivore population dynamics in the Greater Mapungubwe TFCA.
