A Holistic Conservation Mandate
When you wear your Kariega Veldskoen you become part of the Kariega team that is striving to achieve a holistic conservation mandate.
Kariega Game Reserve in partnership with the Kariega Foundation have adopted a strategically holistic conservation mandate. We focus on empowering the community with the same energy and commitment we put into conservation on the reserve, because we believe that people who are provided with meaningful opportunities to work, learn and earn, do not see the quick returns from dangerous poaching, as an opportunity to better their lives. Instead they join our ever growing conservation community that works collectively to rejuvenate our planet, people and wildlife.
Our numerous and diverse projects flow from the core motives to protect and preserve our natural heritage as well as uplift and educate our neighbouring communities so that, together, we may reform that which threatens its existence.
Conservation through Community
This holistic model aims to build conservation through community so that communities join conservation efforts.
Central to our conservation efforts is the Kariega anti poaching unit.
The Kariega Game Reserve APU includes a dedicated K9 unit and the GCF Mounted Unit. Our vision is to continually grow this APU team with members of the communities surrounding the Kariega Reserve. This has already started with the Kariega Foundation, identifying community members with the drive and aptitude for animal conservation, providing them with professional training, and employing them to protect the endangered species found on the reserve.
The anti-poaching unit, is really the tip of the ice-berg. The base layer is our Youth Development Programme, which offers school children from the surrounding communities the opportunity to play sport, receive social and emotional learning training and; engage in environmental education activities. It also supports them with a safe place to do homework in the afternoons. These programmes, managed by community coaches, have allowed local children the opportunity to develop their talents. Some have gone on to play sport competitively at the provincial and national levels; others have attended wildlife procedures on the reserve and some have entered the Kariega Foundation Internship programme and received APU and FIGASA training and created employment opportunities for themselves.
