Wildlife ACT is a conservation organisation based in KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa, that focuses on on-the-ground endangered species conservation efforts, the daily monitoring of priority species within protected areas, and the management of human-wildlife conflict, and the promotion of community involvement in conservation. Of particular focus for the organisation is the critically endangered African Wild Dog and Black Rhino, as well as the six Vulture species found in South Africa - of which, several are critically endangered. Through the help of their voluntourism model, Wildlife ACT has been able to provide sustained, free professional monitoring services to more than ten Zululand protected areas for 15 years, as well as contributing endangered species management across Africa, and the restoration of North Island, Seychelles. Wildlife ACT's mission is to save our planet's endangered wildlife and wildlands from extinction. Our aim is to develop and implement innovative, ground based and sustainable conservation models that save our wildlife, protect our wilderness, and benefit our local communities. Our quest is to create inspiring connections with the wilderness, giving people pragmatic ways to support and be part of effective on-the-ground conservation work. Our promise: Real, honest conservation where it's needed most. Through strategic partnerships, sustainable funding models and developing technology: - Implement strategic monitoring and research to inform and enable effective conservation management of wildlife. - Understand the needs of surrounding communities, and develop innovative programs to facilitate socio-economic advancement. - Use Africa-centric, people oriented models to drive wild area expansion. Another essential aspect of Wildlife ACT's mandate lies at the interface of managing human-wildlife conflict and encouraging community conservation efforts. Many people living adjacent to South Africa's protected areas and national parks have only a view across the fence. Wildlife ACT understands that in order for conservation efforts to be sustainable and meaningful, these gaps need to be filled. Their Community Conservation Programme aims to encourage participation in, and strengthen peoples' understanding of, the conservation sector, showcasing the value of nature and highlighting economic opportunities in the sector.

Good governance ensures accountability, fairness, and transparency throughout our social, governmental, and business systems. On the African continent, women are underrepresented at every level in the workplace, especially in senior leadership roles. According to the UN, this type of unequal treatment of women in the workplace has cost Sub-Saharan Africa approximately $105bn and has significant implications on the utilization of the continents full human capital potential and achievement of its development goals. The Boardroom Africa was borne out of these realities. We champion female leadership on a pan-African level by building a network of women leaders who collectively dispel the myth that there aren't enough qualified women to support the growth of the continent. We help build role models at the top to change the way organizations are led through our educational content. We offer a board training program for women across the continent and to date, we've trained 64+ women. We also have built a community of over 1,000 women on the continent leading change and deliver open webinars, trainings, and meetups to upskill this network. Finally, we've conducted publicly released research on 13 African countries to assess the gender gap in their companies. We want to shift the demand by ensuring society realizes the benefits of increased female participation in leadership, and create an ecosystem of women who can go into the world and inspire others.
