About
Being the CEO of Wild Spirit, wildlife veterinary and conservation medicine programs in South Africa made me realized that there is a big gap not only in education but in many areas regarding wildlife conservation medicine. If we expect to have ultimate results on biodiversity protection efforts, it's critical to establish wildlife health projects and built capacities within this context. Here the reason why was developed Wildlife Conservation Medicine Foundation / Wild Spirit Fund. This NGO is a one of its kind, born in Africa, registered in Europe and led by a network of international wildlife professionals. We aim to expand and implement the science of wildlife conservation medicine at ground level, and by doing that, not only protect the health of Nature but of humankind. We understand that the future of wildlife conservation can only be sustainable by empowering and working side by side with the local professionals and the communities. After ten years of practical and scientific work on wildlife veterinary medicine and conservation in Africa, we notably acquired experience on One Health and wildlife population management programs. Within our advisory group are some of the top wildlife veterinarians in the world. Our focus and expertise are to build local capacities around the wildlife conservation medicine framework with motivated African scientists and professionals.
