The Kevin Richardson Foundation’s mission is to protect wildlife and the habitats on which it depends, while inspiring and supporting people to become active participants in conservation.

We pursue this mission through four connected pillars: Habitat: Protecting and maintaining conservation land, and working towards habitat expansion and connectivity to support functioning ecosystems and free-roaming wildlife. Wildlife: Providing lifelong, compassionate care for rescued captive predators that cannot return to the wild, and supporting the rehabilitation and eventual release of suitable wild-origin animals through specialist care and conservation partnerships. Education: Connecting young people with nature and creating pathways from conservation awareness to practical experience, mentorship, training and opportunities within the conservation sector. Community and Collaboration: Working with conservation organisations, researchers, wildlife protection teams and communities to strengthen collective efforts to protect biodiversity. Our work brings together responsibility for animals already in our care and a commitment to a future in which wildlife can thrive in secure natural habitats. Through compassionate care, habitat protection, education and collaboration, we aim to make a lasting contribution to South Africa’s conservation landscape.
