The project is based in Zululand, one of the most biodiverse wild lands in Africa - much of it declared a World Heritage Site. It makes a dramatic backdrop to this project, and is a place of majestic beauty with cultures as diverse as its landscapes. Zululand is a rare place with age-old cultures and traditions, yet it is the birthplace of wildlife conservation in Africa, where the rhino was saved from certain extinction 60 years ago. Yet amid its gallery of wildlife, conservation efforts face tremendous challenges, and the project needs your help.
