The Uthingo Foundation is partnering with Project Rhino in South Africa and aims to change this and promote the mind-set "People for the Environment". We are a small charity in its infancy, a group of four from different backgrounds with different skills but most importantly with a shared vision to make a difference. In order to create landscapes where wildlife thrives, the economy and local communities both need to benefit. We can do this by not only securing protected areas but also investing in those surrounding communities. We need to promote coexistence and achieve that connectivity.We want to meet and interact with the local communities who live so close to game reserves and its wildlife. We believe that they can teach us and provide us with the tools we need to go forward and promote human-wildlife coexistence. Also by providing a structured education, art and sports programme we can target the next generation, creating a positive attitude towards wildlife and its conservation. We want to be able take members of the surrounding communities (including adults, children and their teachers) into the game reserves to observe the conservation efforts first hand to inspire a love for conservation. We want to empower the men and women of the local communities, developing their skills of hobbies they love and enjoy doing. These could include crafts, cooking, construction or mechanics. We believe they hold the key to promoting and inspiring coexistence.Long-term sustainable community-based management is what we want to create, and partnering with local communities is the key to its success on the ground.Our vision is to foster a passion and love for the local fauna and flora in both the children and adults.
