Trust
Wild Bird Trust are explorers, monitors, awareness raisers and citizen engagers for the conservation of wild birds and their natural habitats. We are small, but our advantage comes from our dedicated partners who share our values, culture, and unwavering commitment to make our planet a better place for all of its inhabitants.
We remain deeply aware that our experiences and journeys are part of a greater story - the education, preservation and discovery of wild places by using wild birds as indicators for change and health of the wildernesses they live in. The wilderness is our natural habitat and we stand tall among the tree tops and the rivers edges giving hope, not only to our current generation, but to many generations to come.
Be The Change
Become a champion for change. Any donation will help us to conserve our incredible wildlife heritage.
The Wild Bird Trust is conducting novel scientific research activities and creating partnerships with local communities in Southern Africa, to create conservation economies for the protection and preservation of our last remaining wildernesses for future generations.
Angola
In December 2018, the National Geographic Society signed an historic Protocol of Cooperation with the Angolan government, mandating the Wild Bird Trust, as the implementing partner, to advance the effective management of natural resources, capacity building, sustainable development and tourism in the Okavango-Zambezi Water Tower Project Area.
Namibia
Namibia is the most arid country in Southern Africa. Water is a key resource especially for agriculture but perennial rivers are few and are shared with its neighbours. The Okavango, Zambezi and Chobe all have their sources in the Angolan highlands so Namibia is an essential link in the work of the NGOWP.
South Africa
The Wild Bird Trust is on a mission to conserve wild birds and their habitat through exploration, research and monitoring, conservation action, partnerships, awareness-raising and support for local and citizen-led organisations.
Botswana
In 2014 the Okavango Delta became a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Part of the reason for this is because the Delta supports the lives of thousands of people by providing freshwater, food, building materials, medicinal plants and employment through the tourism industry. The NGOWP now plays its part in protecting this unique and vital place.
