In the vast landscapes of southern Africa, something extraordinary is happening — communities and endangered carnivore species are beginning to coexist so that all beings may thrive. Meet cheetahs and African painted wolves — the continent’s two most endangered carnivores. With perhaps only a decade remaining before free-roaming populations may disappear, the urgency is real. Yet, this isn’t a story of defeat.
It’s a story about advancing the coexistence imperative. Dedicated grassroot conservation organizations and communities in southern Africa are transforming human-wildlife conflict through compassion, dedication, and resilience. Join us for an inspiring evening that will leave you believing in the power of working towards a future where people and wildlife flourish side-by-side.
