Connecting fragmented habitat is critical to protect the last remaining wildlife on Earth.

Our team at Law of the Wild has worked tirelessly to help enforce protected areas, supporting governments in securing essential pockets of habitat for at-risk species.

Even when enforced, most protected areas are isolated, fragmented, and fail to provide sufficient connectivity for wildlife migration and interchange. 

With the launch of Project WildRange, we are taking the next step by collaborating with multiple partners to establish and re-wild protected wildlife corridors in Africa. 

Phase one of the first corridor project has kicked off in South Africa’s biodiversity-rich Eastern Cape province, where we are in the final steps of establishing a 10,000-acre (4,000 + ha) core area. 

Thanks to years of comprehensive preparation by our key partners, the corridor project is on track to reach a goal of connecting approximately 250,000 acres (100,000 + ha) of protected habitat in the short-term and eventually up to 2,000,000 acres (800,000 + ha).

Coupled with ongoing property acquisition, ecological studies, habitat enhancements, and security measures, later this year, partners will begin reintroducing both black rhinos and white rhinos into the core area. 

As the corridor grows, other native wildlife such as elephants, lions, Cape mountain zebras, and many other species will once again freely and safely roam across the landscape.
