The African Wildlife Foundation (AWF) is the world's leading conservation organization focused on Africa. We are working with people across the continent to ensure that Africa's wildlife and wildlife survive. The AWF and the Tanzania Forest Service are taking conservation measures to protect the environment of Mount Rungwe in southern Tanzania.

As a conservation volunteer, you will learn to identify the different species of animals and plants and gain a deeper understanding of African nature. The GVIS South African Wildlife Conservation Project includes research on animals such as cheetahs, wolves, big cats, and birds. GIS also expects you to participate in safari programs.

With your help, Earthwatch researchers are working to ensure the health of South Africa's wildlife sanctuaries. Collecting relevant information abroad can help you achieve your goals for conservation work. You can start by participating in the GVI wildlife conservation project in South Africa.

For centuries, people from all over the world have visited Africa to see wildlife. The Safari country in eastern and southern Africa is the only region in the world where you can find life in the world as it was before man took power. South Africa's largest game reserve is home to beautiful savannas and rolling forests, the oldest in Africa.

Wildlife such as elephants, zebras, and lions are free-ranging creatures that roam large areas in search of food, water, shelter, and meeting places, and are unaware of national borders. This is a rare opportunity to travel in an area that is only seen by most people on the Land Rover. Leave the savannah and watch the lowland gorillas from the lush green leaves to the African wildlife halls.

To create the right conditions for wildlife such as elephants, zebras, and lions, the environment must be managed, not individual parks. When a country decides to demolish a river or clear a forest, it could adversely affect all wildlife in the region. Although the earth is protected, some species face unique threats that require specific conservation measures.

A sad example is the Boucle du Baoule National Park in Mali, a large, well-located piece of forested savannah where wildlife is scarce as a result of rampant hunting not only local but also armed and organized groups abroad. Such areas require a high level of security and employment to achieve their goal. Lions are also found in kraals in private parks and in national parks.

African elephants are the largest mammals in the world and grow up to 4 m tall. There are very few wild elephants left in South Africa and elephants are threatened with extinction and enter national parks such as Kruger Park and Addo Park, where they are hunted with their teeth. Conservation efforts have been successful, and there are growing species of mountain bears, bontebok, and deer species throughout the country.

The Namib Desert in Namibia is one of the most hostile places on Earth, but it is home to many species, including elephants and lions. These animals adapt to life under extreme conditions with very little surface water. Some of Africa's largest mammals, such as lions, elephants, and leopards, find habitats ranging from dry swamps to wetlands.

Lions and elephants are found in many African swamps, but their behavior is very different from that of people living in the desert. There are many examples of the diversity of similar species in the African desert, even in the same area.

There are many species of animals, the fastest and the smallest in the world, such as the giant giraffe, the fast cheetah, and the small pygmy shrew. Many species are threatened with extinction, including African wild dogs and the Oribi rhino, which is being hunted for its horn. Many wildlife species are kept in national parks and private parks.

If possible, saved animals and birds will be rehabilitated and returned to the wild. The Sniffer Dog Unit, trained and supported by the AWF, uses these dogs as a practical deterrent to anyone considering trafficking in wildlife. Since the inception of the program, dogs have received more than 180 cases of hidden ivory, rhinoceros, pangolin scales, and other illegal products from animals.

While this does not empower in protected areas, it shows the need to remain vigilant in their management and accountability to local people. Organizations such as the African Parks Network and the Wildlife Conservation Societies are rethinking traditional methods of public participation by investing in appropriate moribund reserves in Central Africa as a way to protect biodiversity. Most importantly, Mtsambiwa wants local communities to participate in the program and receive tourism and development benefits.

Our planet is a dense jungle with over eight million unique and fascinating species. Species are disappearing thousand times more extinct than extinct species, and a UN report released earlier this year suggested that one million species could be threatened with extinction in decades to come. As in the previous genocide, the burden of great human suffering lies on the shoulders of humanity.

With one in four mammals listed on the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species (IUCN) on the endangered species list, there is a great need for people to take part in conservation. If you are interested in conservation, conservation work can be a very rewarding way of life.

We comprehend that numerous individuals might wish to function admirably with African untamed life yet are restricted by time, work, or other responsibilities. We are pleased to offer a superb untamed life excursion and volunteer freedoms that most recent fourteen days or less. A few groups who take a Sabbath or work break (over half) pick this to accomplish their fantasy about working with African untamed life and having an effect
