Rhino Protection Project
The overall protection of the rhinos remains an in-the-field situation. The PWT provides funding assistance for a range of rhino protection initiatives, including ranger support, aerial and ground surveillance, and rhino monitoring.
Community Development
One of the core functions of the Pilanesberg Wildlife Trust is to promote the upliftment of the communities in the related fields of Nature Conservation and Tourism on the periphery of the Pilanesberg National Park.
Technical Projects
The Pilanesberg Wildlife Trust supports Park Management and the North West Parks Board by offering assistance with a number of technical projects within Pilanesberg National Park.
Brown Hyena Project
Project Phiri is based in the Northwest Province of South Africa. The research started with pilot work in Pilanesberg National Park in 2003 and is supported by The Earthwatch Institute.
Cheetah Project
The Pilanesberg has a healthy population of cheetah. The PWT also has a partnership with EWT and their cheetah conservation project which aims to promote and broaden the genetic diversity of this magnificent species.
Elephant Project
This is unfortunately quite an expensive operation but the PWT will be supporting the elephant population project in the interests of the elephants, and the home they call Pilanesberg.
Lion Project
When animals are fenced, and especially in the case of predators where there is not an abundance of them, it is important to manage their numbers and genetics.
