“Sharing the hard work, difficulties, success stories and behind the scenes of wildlife conservation”
Whether you’re a conservationist, veterinarian, conservation organization, wildlife reserve, rescue center, sanctuary, news agency that needs stills and or motion to add to your story and spread your message,
I am happy to collaborate
Images speak louder than words. A classic quote, but true. If you’re working in wildlife conservation, photos and videos can have an enormous impact and are vital to raise awareness, funds and getting your message out into the world and find support for your cause.
I am not afraid to get my hands dirty. With experience in animal caretaking at zoos and wildlife sanctuaries I can provide you with photos and footage that you need while also helping out in the field. This way I feel more connected and it gives me a better understanding of the project. It helps to create a more compelling story.
As a bonus I have a large number of followers on my social media and I am happy to share your message with my followers. If my work can help make a positive difference in the life of these animals, even if it is only a small difference, I would be extremely grateful. Let’s collaborate and make a difference together.
Relocating cheetahs
A conservation success story
To protect the animals, reserves in South Africa are fenced, meaning that animals like cheetahs are no longer able to move between remaining protected areas. To avoid inbreeding and grow a healthy and strong population of wild cheetahs it is necessary to relocate these amazing big cats.
Four cheetahs were relocated from South Africa to Karingani Private Game Reserve in Mozambique by the Endangered Wildlife Trust. Two male cheetahs that came from Phinda Private Game Reserve and lived temporary at Roam Private Game Reserve and two female cheetahs from Dinokeng Private Game Reserve. It was a huge effort and could only be done by all the different conservation organizations collaborating.
Puppies saving wildlife
The Livestock Guardian Dogs Project of the Endangered Wildlife Trust is a proven and highly effective way to protect both livestock and wildlife.
From a young age, specially trained puppies are placed with herds, where they grow up alongside the animals they will guard. This early bond allows the dogs to develop a strong protective instinct, making them highly effective at deterring predators such as leopards, African wild dogs, and caracals.
By providing farmers with these loyal guardians, the risk of livestock losses is greatly reduced. At the same time, the project prevents retaliatory killings of carnivores, helping farmers and predators coexist in harmony. In this way, the project not only supports rural communities but also plays a vital role in conserving threatened carnivore species.
Kruger Lion Survey
Africa’s most iconic predator is disappearing fast — with wild lion numbers reduced by over 90% in the past century and fewer than 20,000 remaining today. The Greater Limpopo Transfrontier Conservation Area, including South Africa’s Kruger National Park, is one of the last strongholds, home to more than 2,000 lions.
In recent years, poaching and poisoning have threatened lions, leopards, and vultures in northern Kruger. As apex predators, lions are vital for maintaining balance in the ecosystem, and their decline could have serious consequences.
To safeguard them, the Endangered Wildlife Trust, in partnership with SANParks, is conducting a three-month lion survey — tracking, monitoring, and identifying individuals across this vast and remote landscape.
Kruger Lion Collaring
It is an exciting morning for the lion survey team as they will be assisting the South African National Parks rangers and the veterinarian from Wildscapes in the immobilization of two lionesses to fit them with a gps collar. This pride of lions lives very close to the border of Kruger National Park, a high risk area for poisoning and snaring Therefore it is crucial that their movements can be monitored. The collar data will assist the SANParks rangers and the EWT carnivore team in keeping these lions safe.

Why collar lions?
Collaring lions in Kruger National Park is essential to understand their movements, behavior, and the challenges they face. The data collected guides conservation efforts to combat poaching, poisoning, and human-wildlife conflict, ensuring better protection for prides. By monitoring these apex predators, we help safeguard the balance of the entire ecosystem.
