WESSA (Wildlife and Environment Society of South Africa)

WESSA is a national, environmental, membership-based non-government organisation that works to ensure environmental sustainability for current and future South African generations by building society’s environmental sensitivity and competence. 

WESSA’s mission is to promote public participation in caring for the Earth. This is expressed in the diverse and dynamic collaborative partnerships that WESSA creates to enable its work with communities and individuals. 

The three basic tenets of sustainability, namely the social, economic and environmental dimensions, are integral to all of our initiatives within the vital sectors of water, biodiversity, energy and waste, and WESSA is a preferred project implementer nationally, regionally and internationally. 

In particular, WESSA proactively strives to shape policy, ensure compliance and affect social change. 

This is achieved through responsive conservation action, innovative educational intervention and human capacity development that empower people to make sustainable lifestyle and environmental management choices. 

With a track record of over 80 years WESSA is recognised for its strong membership base, professional staff, and effective project management and high standards of corporate governance. 

You can help them save the earth.
