The Sindisa Foundation is a registered United Kingdom Charitable Trust with the objective of supporting wildlife and ecosystem conservation, sustainable rural development and environmental education in southern Africa.

Endangered Species - Cheetah

Africa has always been a powerful symbol of all that is wild and free; a continent of vast wild lands and great herds of magnificent beasts. Today the wildlife and wild places of Africa are an icon for the hope and commitment which the people of the Earth must have if they are to avert the catastrophic consequences of Man’s impact on the Planet. Every time we save another acre of wild Africa or bring back another African species from the brink of extinction, it is a reflection of a triumph in the global effort to ensure the future of life on Earth.

Today, the African effort is being led by determined and passionate people – of all nations, ethnicity and creeds – working tirelessly in the field. Their goal is to secure the functionality and diversity of the African wilderness and to use it as the basis for the sustainable socio-economic development of the continents people. They need every possible support and we need them to succeed.

Sindisa strives to provide a small part of that support and to persuade others to do the same.
