Projects

From snare removal and anti-poaching collaboration to wildfire response, veterinary support and wildlife rehabilitation, our projects are built around practical needs in the field.

PROJECTS & COLLABORATIONS

Supporting the people already doing the work.

One Wildlife Preservation works with communities, conservation teams, fire and emergency services, wildlife veterinarians and other field partners where practical support can strengthen conservation outcomes.

Our approach is collaborative. We do not need to replace good work that already exists. We aim to add capacity, coordination, field support and resources where they can be useful.

01 / FIELD PROTECTION

Collaborative Snare Removal & Field Monitoring

We work alongside existing snare-removal projects and local communities to locate, document and remove snares while improving field awareness of where wildlife is being placed at risk.

Community participation and local knowledge are important parts of this work. The goal is to strengthen existing efforts, document evidence and reduce preventable wildlife injury and loss.

Snare detection, documentation and removal
Community participation and local collaboration
Field searches and patrol support
Identification of high-risk areas and wildlife impacts
Practical anti-poaching support and prevention

02 / EMERGENCY RESPONSE

Hessequa Fire Department Wildlife Rescue Support

One Wildlife Preservation supports wildlife-focused response around wildfire incidents in collaboration with Hessequa fire services, helping connect emergency operations with the needs of wildlife affected by active fires.

This work is centred on preparedness, communication and safe coordination. Wildlife response must fit into the wider emergency picture and never interfere with fire suppression or responder safety.

Coordination with fire and emergency personnel
Field communication and preparedness
Animal evacuation or rescue support where safe and appropriate
Post-fire wildlife support when conditions allow

03 / RECOVERY

Wildfire Wildlife Rescue & Recovery

When fire conditions allow safe access, the work continues in the burned landscape. Fire-affected habitat can leave wildlife injured, displaced or exposed to secondary risks after the main fire front has passed.

Our role includes supporting searches, monitoring affected habitat and helping coordinate wildlife response and recovery needs in the aftermath of wildfire.

Searching fire-affected areas for injured or displaced wildlife
Post-fire habitat and wildlife monitoring
Support for rescue and safe wildlife handling
Coordination with experienced responders and rehabilitation partners
Reducing secondary wildlife losses after fire

04 / VETERINARY SUPPORT

Wildlife Veterinary Support & Field Rescue

Wildlife rescue often depends on skilled veterinary intervention. One Wildlife Preservation supports wildlife veterinarians and experienced field teams during animal assessment, capture, treatment, transport and other practical interventions.

The veterinarian remains responsible for clinical decisions. Our role is to provide useful field support around the intervention and help the wider response run safely and efficiently.

Field support during veterinary interventions
Animal capture and safe restraint assistance
Wildlife transport and logistical support
Rescue coordination around veterinary care
Post-treatment monitoring and release support where appropriate

05 / REHABILITATION

Wildlife Rescue & Rehabilitation

Rescue is only the beginning for some animals. Injured wildlife may require treatment, protection, extended recovery and careful monitoring before a safe return to the wild can even be considered.

We support the wider rescue and rehabilitation process by helping connect animals with appropriate care, transport and experienced wildlife professionals.

Injured wildlife rescue and initial support
Veterinary referral and treatment coordination
Transport to appropriate rehabilitation care
Recovery monitoring and practical support
Safe release support where appropriate and authorised

06 / COLLABORATION

Anti-Poaching Collaboration & Preparedness

Wildlife protection is stronger when people communicate before incidents happen. We support collaboration and preparedness between conservation stakeholders, field teams and other relevant partners involved in protecting wildlife.

The focus is on practical coordination, clearer reporting and strengthening the systems around field response rather than duplicating the role of established anti-poaching teams.

Anti-poaching stakeholder coordination
Wildlife threat and field information sharing
Preparedness and response planning
Snare-related reporting and escalation

FROM THE FIELD

These are real projects, real conditions and real collaborations.

The photographs on this page come from the work and collaborations represented here. We believe conservation should be communicated responsibly and without turning field work into theatre.

As One Wildlife Preservation expands its work throughout Southern Africa, this page will continue to document practical projects, partnerships and the lessons that come from them.
