Over and Above Africa’s mission is to protect and preserve endangered wildlife in Africa and the communities they impact. We do this through funding a host of projects for wildlife and those who protect them, the environment and the local communities. We have built school houses, water purification systems, educational trips to game reserves for children to connect with the wildlife they otherwise would never see. Paid for rhino de-hornings where children participate and learn why they are sadly necessary right now. We’ve funded cheetah, elephant and rhino relocations, stabling and housing for rescued wildlife, veterinary supplies and travel costs. We’ve planted 1 million avocado trees in a high poaching area for an impoverished community to create other sources of income and bartering. For more click here.

The list goes on! To this end, we also believe in lifting up other conservationists who we believe are doing outstanding and impactful work in the field for you to meet and support! We just launched our "Big 5 in Five" series to do just that.

We speak to some of our favourite wildlife champions and ask them “who they are, what they do, why they do it, where they do it and how we can help”.
