Every bit of support we get is vital to our work to protect these species and to ensure their long term survival.
Donate to truWILD today!
STOP POACHING NOW! is excited to be partnering with truWILD, supporting translocation conservation efforts with the Lobiza Wildlife Reserve to prevent rhino and elephant extinction in Africa. By simple definition, translocation is the process of capturing, loading, transporting, and releasing these animals into a new habitat – one that is SAFE from poachers and has abundant land resources. Located north of Durban, in the heart of KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa, the Loziba Wilderness project will see the establishment of a 2500 hectare (61,776 acres) wilderness reserve. Loziba Wilderness Reserve will become a safe haven for wildlife and an abundant ecosystem the animals can thrive in.
Will they survive and be seen by future generations?
Rhinos and Elephants are in danger of being hunted to extinction.
If the market continues to drive poaching, both Elephants and Rhinos could vanish from the wild as early as 2030.
Therein lies a great need to help ‘at risk’ Elephants & Rhinos to live happy lives in new, safe, and protected areas free from the world of poaching and illegal trade.
There they will thrive and survive… rater than try, and die.
For those that knew Chris Holcroft, they would all agree that his larger than life presence and warm character was felt throughout the conservation world of South Africa. His passion and support for wildlife conservation projects furthered the path towards achieving the goal of ending elephant and rhino exploitation, protecting habitats these giants call home and ultimately securing the generations of these species to come.​
We would like to continue what Chris had begun, for his legacy and for the animals. Our hope is that others, like you, will be inspired to follow in his footsteps.
Chris saw these sentient beings were being stripped of their basic rights and natural instincts to migrate, protect their families, and live a natural life on land they were meant for. Humans are destroying their chance of life. This not only affects these herds, but also the biodiversity of the land they would typically thrive from, and the economic downturn of rural communities within South Africa.
This is why we need your help. We need to rise up and be the voice for the voiceless, and we cannot do it without you.
"The plan is simple enough - to raise enough money to go back and start moving at-risk animals and sending them to the areas that have vegetation in abundance, the right security infrastructure, and they can add significant positive impact worldwide conservation."​
Now that we have identified the problem; the dire need for elephants and rhinos to be translocatd from land that is unsafe and barren from their basic needs, to an area where they can thrive – we can transition to the first phase of development:

Nature is the mother of us all, and within all of us is the spirit of an eco-warrior. The war on poaching is a war on greed, but what stands to be lost is priceless.
