The Bateleur – Quarter 3 (2025)

Welcome to the latest issue of The Bateleur, where we continue to bring our new SAWC Strategy 2030 to life through the powerful stories unfolding across our campus and beyond.

In this issue, we shine a light on the incredible people at the heart of our mission. From the courageous rangers who go Beyond Law Enforcement to protect Africa’s wild spaces, to the dedicated Makuleke community leading their own landscape restoration efforts, you’ll discover how a people-centered approach is the key to lasting conservation.

We also celebrate the partnerships and innovations that are driving our work forward. Read about our team’s participation in the Transformative Leadership for Conservation programme and see how our Nature-Based Economy vision is building prosperity for people and nature. You’ll also get an inside look at the remarkable teamwork behind our Wildlife Ranger Challenge race day and the vital progress in our Occupational Programmes, ensuring our graduates are ready for the field.

Thank you for being part of this journey with us. We invite you to explore the articles below and see for yourself how your support is shaping the future of African conservation, one story at a time.
