Wildlife

At the present time, the habitats of wildlife are being
systematically diminished through the encroachment of
humans. The greatest threats facing wildlife are the
loss of a sustainable habitat, the lack of human
awareness, education and respect to the needs of
wildlife, indiscriminate hunting and poaching and the
requisite dedication on the part of mankind towards the
preservation of their wildlife heritage and flora.

The mission of the South West Africa Wildlife
Preservation and Research Institute is to secure, study,
manage and care for and perpetuate the continued
existence of this wildlife for future generations.
Methodology also includes providing opportunities for
public education and flora, exposure, and student
learning/participation.

The land on which the organization operates is the
homeland for over 61 Mammalian species, a wide
variety of bird life, reptilian species, and insects.

The purpose of the overall project is to provide safety
and security for all wildlife and flora on the habitat with
particular emphasis on endangered and exotic wildlife,
to provide substantial safety and security to the visiting
public, workforce, families, staff and volunteers. To
study various species and perpetuate their existence,
promote public awareness and education in order to
insure the continuation of indigenous wildlife on the
reserve and to insure, where appropriate the possibility
of reintroduction of species specific into other selected
and suitable natural habitat locations. To the best of the
organization’s ability strive to make this operation one
in which the wildlife is safe, and achieve public and
worldwide attention and the reputation of being one of
the foremost and best operations for animals, humanity,
and posterity.
