OUR PROJECTS

Working together, we can make a real difference!

Recognizing the enormity of the challenge wildlife faces, Scales Conservation Fund is dedicated to making a lasting impact through our campaigns and partnered projects. We have partnered with ethical and passionate conservation non-profit organisations to assist them in creating awareness and to help them in raising the funds they so desperately need. This not only ensures that the critical work can continue to be done, but also enables the experts to focus on the job at hand. Learn more about our Partner Projects and get involved yourself.

Kogelberg Wildlife Rescue Centre

The Kogelberg Biosphere Reserve is the oldest biosphere reserve in South Africa and covers around 100 000 hectares – an area larger than Singapore! It has the richest, most complex biodiversity on earth, home to more than 1 880 plant species. Of these, 77 are endemic. The seascapes are also significant: more than 3 500 endemic marine species. KBR are establishing the first permitted Wildlife Rescue Centre in the Western Cape, providing wildlife rescue and animal wildfire search & rescue for the unique species that occur in the area.

Pangolin Rescue Fund

The Pangolin Rescue Fund is a Scales initiative aimed at creating awareness about the rapidly escalating and urgent need to save pangolins from the illegal wildlife trade. Working with the experts, we provide funding to cover the extensive treatment and rehabilitation an individual pangolin must go through after being rescued from the illegal wildlife trade, so that they may be successfully released back in to the wild.

ReWild Rehabilitation Centre

ReWild is one of the very few rehabilitation centers in South Africa that specialises in the care, treatment and rehabilitation of bats. Whilst the team helps all wildlife in need, the centre has special facilities that caters for the unique requirements of bat rehabilitation. Founded by Jane Burd, who is widely regarded  as one of South Africa's top bat rehabilitators, ReWild is the go-to centre for all things batty.

Snare Crisis Fund

The fight against wildlife poaching is one that requires urgent, sustained action. One of the most devastating tools used by poachers is the snare—a cruel trap that maims and kills countless animals each year. Snares do not discriminate; they capture anything that crosses their path. The Snare Crisis Fund has been created to address this growing threat by providing immediate support for wildlife victims of snares, ensuring swift rescue, treatment, and rehabilitation. In addition to supporting animal recovery, the fund will also finance the search and removal of snares in key wildlife areas, actively working to reduce the risks posed to vulnerable species.
