Support ecological research

The Tswalu Foundation exists primarily to support ecological research on the reserve. Through accumulating a growing body of quality data on the fauna, flora and unique habitats of the southern Kalahari we continue to make informed conservation management decisions in support of our shared vision to restore the natural environment, re-establish and protect biodiversity, and maintain the Kalahari’s characteristic ecological processes.

Tswalu – A new beginning, celebrates the ongoing success of a conservation dream. It records the reserves origins and how it has progressed to not only enrich the fragile environment, but also advance the lives of people who live there – through healthcare, education, conservation, research and general community upliftment. In short, this work commemorates the goal of those who live and work on Tswalu – to leave the world in a better state than the one in which it was first found.
