Walks

How much do you value the diverse wildlife thriving in Gauteng's beautiful grasslands and bush? As South Africa’s most densely populated province, natural areas here face constant threats. The CRR is one of the few remaining places under formal protection, and it's up to us to safeguard its rich biodiversity—both within its borders and its surrounding buffer zones.

Beyond the threats of urban sprawl, industry, and mining, poaching—particularly snaring—is a constant menace. Snaring is cheap, requires minimal materials (often stolen fencing), and is easy to set up. Unfortunately, it's an indiscriminate and cruel method of poaching, trapping not just the intended animals, but also pets and wildlife like jackals, which are often left to suffer or die since they hold no value to the poacher. The result is permanent injury or a slow, agonizing death for most animals caught in snares.

If you value biodiversity and empathize with the suffering of individual animals, we invite you to join us for just one morning to help search for and remove these harmful traps. Every bit of help makes a huge difference.
