Protect lions in Namibia from retaliatory killings

When every minute counts, access from the air can mean the difference between life and loss.

Over the past year, your support has helped fund helicopter flights that enable rapid response, real-time monitoring, and critical support for teams working to protect wildlife.

These flights allow teams to reach animals in distress, monitor vulnerable areas, and respond quickly in situations where time is everything. They also strengthen the work being done on the ground, providing a level of visibility and access that would otherwise not be possible.

While much of this work happens out of sight, its impact is far-reaching. Aerial support improves response times and acts as a deterrent, making it harder for illegal activity to go undetected.

Your support has made this possible.

Knowing how important this work is, we are expanding our approach to ensure it can continue and grow where it is needed most.

In the year ahead, this project will transition into a broader Anti-Poaching Flight Fund. This will allow us to support aerial operations across key areas, including continued work in Greater Kruger as well as Kevin’s anti-poaching flights in Dinokeng Game Reserve.

By broadening this focus, we can use aerial support more strategically across different landscapes, directing resources where they are needed most at any given time.

This is not a shift away from the work you have supported, but a step toward strengthening and extending its impact.

We are incredibly grateful for your support in keeping these flights operational. Because of you, conservation teams can respond faster, monitor more effectively, and continue working to protect wildlife both on the ground and from above.
