Botswana

The Botswana Wild Bird Trust was founded in 2016 with the mission to conserve wild birds and their habitat through exploration, research and monitoring, conservation action, partnerships, awareness-raising, and support for local citizen-led organisations.

Research expeditions undertaken have always included baYei guides and mekoro as a means to explore the narrow and winding waterways of the Delta. The footprint we leave on the environments we traverse, as well as what we leave on the world as a whole, governs our decisions on everything we do, including selecting a self-propelled mode of transport.
