Help protect the misunderstood You can help to protect the misunderstood predators of our world with the South African Shark Conservancy’s (SASC) help protect the misunderstood campaign. Sharks have long been cast as the villains of the sea, misunderstood and feared due to their portrayal in popular culture. However, this is not the case as these majestic creatures are vital to the health of our oceans. They play a crucial role in maintaining the balance of marine ecosystems. The SASC is a dedicated non-profit organisation that is working tirelessly to change perceptions, promote conservation and ensure the sustainable use of sharks and other marine resources. Sharks face many threats from overfishing and habitat loss to the impacts of climate change. Help protect them and let everyone understand these magnificent creatures by supporting this project. Your contribution can fund: Vital research Educational outreach Policy advocacy Conservation initiatives. Sharks are not the villains of the ocean – they are its guardians. Stand with us in our mission to save sharks. Find out more about this fundraising project and donate to change the narrative, giving sharks respect and protection. Help save electrocuted sloths Baby sloths, and their mums, desperately need your help in Costa Rica, along with monkeys and other wildlife victims. In 2020, over 7000 wild animals in Costa Rica lost their lives to horrific electrocutions on power lines. This is still an ongoing issue today as power lines are installed at the canopy level. Tree-dwelling wildlife, like sloths and monkeys, use these lines to move between the trees in fragmented forests, running the risk of electrocution. This is where our partner Rescate Wildlife Rescue Centre steps in to rescue hundreds of wild animals with horrific injuries from electrocution. Infrared Thermography cameras (IRT) and Multiwave lasers are used to help establish the damage and nurse animals back to health. You can help fund this rescue centre so they can use the right tools and save countless lives through your donation to this fundraising project, giving sloths, monkeys and other victims a second chance at life so they can go back to the wild. Find out more and how you can donate to help protect our beloved tree-dwelling animals.
