Wildlife Care & Use

Partnership in Practice

WCU works through partnership — with SUCo-SA, Warm Heart Foundation, and other organisations committed to evidence, accountability, and care.

Together, we build the structures that protect communities, restore balance, and help both people and wildlife thrive.

At Wildlife Care & Use (WCU), science and compassion walk the same path. We believe understanding must always lead to care, and care must always be guided by truth.

Our work bridges people and wildlife, turning data into decisions, and empathy into action.

If you also care about true conservation and facts over emotional ideologies, walk with us.

Wildlife Care & Use (WCU) was born in Africa’s wild heart, where people and nature share one fragile rhythm.

We exist to keep that balance alive through care, knowledge, and truth.

Support our cause. Follow along and walk with us 🐘

In parts of Africa, communities face real risks to their food, safety, and livelihoods as elephants move beyond protected areas where proper fencing of reserves is not in place.

Wildlife Care & Use is working to support affected communities with practical, on-the-ground assistance.

Elephants don’t recognise farmland boundaries, only the need for food and water.

Understanding this reality is the first step
to managing it responsibly. 🐘🌱

We are seeing communities where lives and livelihoods are increasingly at risk — and something needs to be done.

With the public’s support, we can respond where it matters most.

We don’t often ask this directly — but today we will.

There are communities right now facing food shortages and safety risks due to human–wildlife conflict.

And there is a small team on the ground trying to respond.

Wildlife Care & Use is currently aiming to support over 6,000 affected people in Malawi. But we cannot do it alone.

👉 If you’ve followed these posts, you already understand the reality.

Now is the moment to act:

Every contribution goes toward practical support and intervention.

Imagine trying to protect your family at night, knowing a herd of elephants could trample your house or raid your crops.

For many communities living near conservation areas in parts of Malawi and Tanzania, this is a real and recurring risk.

When boundaries are incomplete or ecosystems are under pressure, elephants move beyond protected areas into farmland and villages.

📣 Crops are lost.
📣Infrastructure is damaged.
📣And lives have been lost.

Yet many of these communities receive little practical support.

Wildlife Care & Use is working to change that, providing direct, on-the-ground assistance where it matters most.

In parts of Malawi, families are losing entire harvests overnight.

Not to theft. Not to drought. To elephants. 🐘

This is the part of conservation most people never see.

When elephants move beyond protected areas into farmland — whether due to population pressure, habitat constraints, or gaps in management — it’s rural communities who carry the cost.

Crops are destroyed in hours.
Food security is disrupted.
And in some cases, lives are lost.

Wildlife Care & Use, together with the Warm Heart Foundation, is on the ground supporting affected communities with food aid, care, and practical intervention. 🌱

This is not about choosing people or wildlife. It’s about protecting both, responsibly, and with the right systems in place.

Even a small contribution supports real, on-the-ground impact.
