Pangolin Conservation and Research Foundation (PCRF) is working to protect the world’s most trafficked mammal across boundaries in Southern Africa. The grassroots organisation works to ensure a sustainable future for pangolin through conservation, research, collaboration. The aim is to empower local communities to protect pangolins through sustainable livelihoods, awareness, and education. Conservation efforts include active field research to inform policy and conservation guidelines – working to demystify pangolin’s behaviours and habitats to ensure effective rescue, rehabilitation, and release.

 

Based in Kuruwitu on the Kenyan Coast, Oceans Alive works to create and implement leading sustainable solutions to balance coastal communities with nature. The organisation takes a holistic outlook to a mounting issue – increasing population and poverty levels is putting seismic pressure on Kenya’s coastal regions. Oceans Alive took action to address the degradation of the ocean, coral bleaching and depleted fish stocks, which in turn, was drastically affecting subsistence fishermen and others who relied on the ocean for their survival. Established for over 20 years, Oceans Alive have established the first community led marine protected area, inspiring a ripple effect along the Kenyan coast among other communities.
