In 2022, GRACE Foundation welcomed five rescue dogs from Friends Animal Foundation, marking the start of a transformative conservation initiative. These dogs were trained over six months to become skilled anti-poaching scouts, protecting wildlife while receiving the best care. This project symbolizes our commitment to both animal welfare and wildlife conservation

The journey began with state-of-the-art kennels and training support from Rescue Dogs for Wildlife. Since then, we have welcomed four additional rescue dogs, continuing the cycle of rescue, training, and retirement. Beyond their vital roles as wildlife protectors, we are committed to providing each dog with a high quality of life, including proper care, enrichment, and love.

From Rescue to Rangers: The Journey of GRACE Foundation’s Anti-Poaching Dogs

GRACE Foundation’s scouts patrol the Zambezi River to combat illegal netting and poaching, safeguarding the river’s ecosystem and its wildlife. With the support of Animal Survival International, our team has collected over 5,000 meters of illegal nets, protecting fish populations, hippos, and other animals from harm.

Patrolling the Zambezi River in an aluminium boat co-funded Animal Survival International, our scouts work tirelessly to prevent illegal fishing and poaching. These efforts protect fish populations, deter poachers, and reduce threats to wildlife, ensuring the long-term health of this vital ecosystem.

We construct and maintain solar-powered waterholes, utilizing sustainable energy sources. We strategically locate water points based on wildlife movement and habitat needs. We monitor water levels and wildlife activity to ensure effective distribution. 

Solar-powered systems provide reliable and sustainable water access. Strategic placement minimizes wildlife stress and movement. Consistent monitoring ensures effective resource management. This approach enhances ecosystem resilience during the dry season and drought periods.

This project addresses limited water access for wildlife in the vast Matetsi Private Game Reserve. We establish and maintain solar-powered waterholes and strategically located water sources. This initiative ensures the survival and well-being of diverse wildlife populations during dry spells, maintaining the reserve's ecological balance.

By providing consistent water access, we minimize stress on wildlife populations, reduce human-wildlife conflict, and support ecosystem stability. This project directly contributes to the resilience of biodiversity on Matetsi Private Game Reserve, ensuring the long-term health of the region’s unique wildlife.
