Nature and Species Conservation

Learn more about our project work

“Preserving biodiversity is one of the most important tasks of our time. With C4C, we are lending a hand to those projects that have set themselves this task as their goal. Our work in favour of sustainable species protection is guided by the motto: research, education and protection”

Our projects

Vultures Luambe

Africa is experiencing dramatic vulture declines. Learn more about the activities of the Zambian Vulture Conservation Program.

Mouse-Free Marion

Currently, 28 seabird species breed on Marion Island, including endangered species such as the grey-headed and sooty albatross. Learn more about the immediate threats that these birds are facing.

Giraffes Luambe

C4C supports a project initiated by the Nsanga Conservation Zambia that provides insight into the population dynamics of the resident Thornicroft giraffes in Luambe National Park.

Wild Dogs Luambe

C4C supports the Zambian Carnivore Program to monitor population dynamics of, and threats to, African wild dogs – one of Africa’s most endangered predator species.

Well Construction Luambe

C4C supports the community work of the “Luambe Camp & Conservation”, which provides people in the Luangwa Valley with access to clean drinking water through the construction of wells.

Conservation Camp

A stay at “Luambe Camp & Conservation” offers an authentic safari experience, and above all, provides guests with valuable insights into species conservation and research.

Pangolins South Africa

The pangolin – truly unique and highly endangered. C4C supports project work to protect pangolins in South Africa and Zambia.

Our Vision

Caring for Conservation (C4C) advises and supports NGOs around the world whose mission is the sustainable conservation of species and landscapes and the empowerment of local communities. Additionally, the organisation also runs several initiatives around nature- and species conservation itself. Currently, these are limited to Zambia.

C4C believes that successful and sustainable species and habitat conservation is based on the triad of research, local development work and the protection of natural landscapes.

For the benefit of high quality work and collaborative knowledge exchange, C4C maintains close networks with experts from the fields of nature conservation and ecology and also relies on cooperations with the local commuities.

Conservation of species

We protect these species

Intact biodiversity is the basis of life for all of us. In order to maintain functioning ecosystems, the protection of habitats and species is thus essential. Here we introduce you to the species that are being researched and protected within the framework of the projects we support.

Vultures

The majority of African vulture species are experiencing dramatic declines. C4C supports projects that aim to sustainably research and protect populations of vultures through tagging, monitoring and targeted conservation measures.

Giraffes

Giraffe numbers have declined dramatically all over Africa in recent years. C4C supports the work of projects that are dedicated to measuring populations, conducting genetic assessments, investigating social structures and developing concrete conservation measures.

Wild Dogs

The African wild dog is one of the most endangered predator species in Africa. In close cooperation with experts on the ground, C4C regularly supports research activities to monitor and protect wild dog populations.

Leopards

In order to ensure an overview of population developments in wildlife areas and to identify the need for action in time, C4C supports projects to monitor leopard populations.

Lions

Poaching and trophy hunting are largely responsible for the decline of lion populations in many African countries. C4C supports projects that monitor lion populations and implement targeted conservation measures.
