Program Highlights:
As an ACE volunteer you have the opportunity to participate in a variety of programs. You can work hands-on caring for infant and injured wildlife at a rehabilitation center, you can be out in the field shadowing a wildlife vet or you can assist with our game capture team relocating herds and large mammals to different reserves. Have you ever dreamed of working hands-on with a team of qualified conservationists? One day you may preform tb tests on buffalo and the next you may need to sleep in an enclosure with an infant rhino whose family has recently been poached...each day is different on a conservation project. Volunteers are desperately needed to assist with the work and funding of critical initatives throughout Southern Africa.
Mission Statement:
African Conservation Experience established, maintains and supports conservation organizations in Southern Africa. Projects are selected on the basis of real conservation value, the genuine wildlife experience they are able to provide to enthusiastic volunteers and their contribution to the local environment and community.
Philosophy/Belief Statement:
We are driven by two specific aims;
- To give volunteers the opportunity to experience conservation work in southern Africa.
- To provide financial support and information exchange for conservation projects in southern Africa.
African Conservation Experience has excellent links with some of the foremost game and nature reserves in southern Africa. Our South African heritage means that we know the reserves and the work they do. Our local facilitators know the local tribes and communities well. We also understand the challenges and demands that conservation volunteers face. All ACE staff share a passion for conservation and have first hand knowledge of all the reserves we work with.
Program History:
ACE was started as a family organization by our South African founder Rob. Rob realized that his friends working in conservation were desperate for funding, physical help and expertise. He also realized how many of his childrens University peers were looking for hands-on experience with wildlife. Combining the two needs - Rob sent his son as the very first ACE volunteer to assist with a wildlife rehabilitation project. After his visit many of his friends also wanted to have a similar experience in Africa. From this point forward the programs and opportunities blossomed. Now we feel privilaged to offer assitance to quality conservation organizations while providing volunteers of all ages an unforgetable experiential opportunity to be intimately invovled in African wildlife preservation.
