Save Our Endangered Species

Rewilding for Endangered Species

Once we receive funding, we will launch a series of rewilding programs that bring endangered species back into the wild, reviving ecosystems and supporting both wildlife and local communities. The program will begin with species that are critical to ecosystem balance and can thrive with community-led conservation.

The world is facing an unprecedented loss of biodiversity, with species being driven to extinction at an alarming rate due to habitat destruction, climate change, and human interference. Currently, over 1 million species are at risk of extinction, many of which play vital roles in their ecosystems. At the Saviour Earth Foundation, we are dedicated to reversing this trend through our Endangered Species Rewilding Initiative. This program focuses on reintroducing endangered species into protected, restored habitats and involving local communities in conservation efforts.

Our Solution: A Comprehensive Plan to Rehabilitating Endangered Species

1. Reintroducing Endangered Species into Protected Habitats

Objective: To reintroduce endangered species into carefully restored and protected habitats, ensuring their survival and helping to rebuild ecosystems.

• The Issue: Habitat loss and poaching have driven many species to the brink of extinction. Without action, species like African wild dogs, black rhinos, and California condors could disappear forever.

• What We Will Do:

• Identify key endangered species and map out protected, restored habitats where rewilding efforts will be most effective.

• Collaborate with wildlife ecologists and conservationists to ensure that the reintroduction process is safe and sustainable.

• Provide ongoing monitoring and support for reintroduced species, ensuring their adaptation and growth within their new environment.

• Species We Will Start With:

• African Wild Dogs: Critically endangered due to habitat fragmentation and human-wildlife conflict, African wild dogs play a crucial role in maintaining the balance of savannah ecosystems.

• Black Rhinos: Poaching for rhino horns has decimated black rhino populations. Rewilding black rhinos in secure areas can help revitalize local ecosystems.

• California Condors: Once nearly extinct, the California condor population is slowly recovering through conservation efforts. Reintroducing them to their native habitats will strengthen the species’ future.

• European Bison: The largest land mammal in Europe, European bison are essential to maintaining forest health. Reintroducing them to their former ranges will restore natural processes in forests.

• Expected Impact: Successfully reintroduce 50+ individuals of endangered species each year, contributing to population recovery and ecosystem balance.

2. Involving Local Communities in Conservation

Objective: To involve local communities in conservation efforts by providing education, jobs, and sustainable practices that benefit both people and wildlife.

• The Issue: Many conservation projects fail because they do not engage local communities or provide them with sustainable livelihoods. Communities must see the benefits of conservation to truly support it.

• What We Will Do:

• Provide jobs and training for local communities to participate in habitat restoration, wildlife monitoring, and conservation work.

• Launch educational programs that teach the importance of conservation and how protecting wildlife can lead to economic benefits, such as through ecotourism.

• Promote sustainable practices such as agroforestry and community-managed reserves, which allow communities to benefit from conservation without overexploiting natural resources.

• Communities We Will Focus On:

• Southern Africa: Engage communities living near national parks in Namibia, Botswana, and South Africa, where African wild dogs and black rhinos are being reintroduced.

• California: Partner with local communities to support the reintroduction of California condors in their historic range, promoting ecotourism as a sustainable economic opportunity.

• Eastern Europe: Work with rural communities in Poland and Belarus to reintroduce European bison into protected forests, fostering eco-friendly agricultural practices alongside conservation efforts.

• Expected Impact: Create 100+ jobs in conservation and wildlife management annually, while educating 500+ community members on the importance of biodiversity and sustainable practices.

3. Habitat Restoration for Rewilding Success

Objective: To restore degraded habitats, ensuring they are suitable for the reintroduction of endangered species and can sustain growing populations.

• The Issue: Habitat degradation is one of the leading causes of species extinction. Rewilding efforts are only successful if the habitats are restored to support wildlife.

• What We Will Do:

• Restore native plant species, rebuild natural water sources, and remove invasive species to create thriving habitats for reintroduced wildlife.

• Partner with environmental organizations and local governments to secure and protect large tracts of land for habitat restoration and rewilding.

• Use ecological monitoring tools to track the recovery of restored habitats and the health of species populations.

• Initial Habitats We Will Restore:

• Savannah Grasslands: Critical for the survival of African wild dogs and black rhinos, these ecosystems will be restored to support healthy prey populations and natural vegetation.

• California Wilderness: Areas within the condor’s historical range will be restored by removing invasive species and promoting native plant growth to support scavenger species.

• European Forests: Dense forests in Poland and Belarus will be managed to reintroduce bison, with a focus on maintaining old-growth trees and creating grazing grounds.

• Expected Impact: Restore 10,000+ hectares of degraded habitats each year, creating sustainable environments for endangered species to thrive.
