It creates a feeling of worthiness. It teaches respect and a sense of responsibility. Specialised Snare Removal Program
Called the MACW Bush Warriors these are specially trained units operating on contract with the goal to protect and conserve our free roaming wildlife. These teams clearing and maintain properties and work in conjunction with the MPTA and other specialised organisations. Search & Rescues
We pride ourselves with a 100% success rate when called upon. Unfortunately most wildlife caught in snares don’t survive due to strangulation or fatal wounds. Domestic animals have a better chance of survival but it depends on the breed and temperament. Wildlife Services
We are dedicated to build up records.Our immediate focus will be recording all.Wildlife movements we encounter, total number of animals found dead in Snares, animal tracks found and other vital information to be reported to the Mbombela Environmental committee . We will collect all information by means of photographs , GPS and reports. Awareness & wildlife appreciation programs
MACW believes that only through creating awareness and educating the youth we will be able to make a change. Our main focus is to roll out the program in all the schools inMpumalanga. Our goal will be teaching the children about the animals they may encounter on a daily basis i.e. By educating children they will have the knowledge and with knowledge comes understanding and appreciation. In this way we hope to eradicate fear caused by not understanding the animals . We are using numerous channels, Facebook, Twitter, Linkin, Pinterest, Youtube and google +. We have a Youtube channel that the public can subscribe to in order to follow everything we do. We have a collection of videos.
