SIBANYE ANIMAL WELFARE & CONSERVANCY

About SAWC TRUST

Founded in and registered as a Trust in Zimbabwe in 2018, Sibanye Animal Welfare and Conservancy Trust (SAWCT) is an animal welfare, wildlife, and biodiversity conservation, and climate mitigation organisation. Animal welfare is the core of our programming; all rights are essential for humans and non humans. It was formed after realising the need to bridge the gap between humans, the environment and animals. Using one health concept approach, we introduce strategies and systems to attend to possible eventualities through campaigns, education and practical interventions such as vaccinations.

Our Vision

A society with deeply embedded cultural norms of animal welfare, environmental education and biodiversity conservation.

Our Mission

To promote the welfare of humans, animals, the environment by ending human wildlife conflicts. We believe in being the voice for animals and the environment by recognizing the bond between the animals and human beings and creating a compassionate and harmonious culture of all living beings. We also aim to help communities adapt to climate change and mitigate its effects.

Human Animal Environment Harmony

Human wildlife conflict is one of the greatest challenges that leads to loss of both human and animal life. SAWCT uses non lethal ways to prevent elephants and predators from destroying property and crops. Communities are being taught of how they can live in harmony with wildlife. Animals need to live in their natural habitats and should not be trafficked alive or as horns and tusks. Communities should also benefit from natural resources hence SAWCT encourages photographic safaris via local partnerships. Communities are encouraged to live in harmony with the environment, protect biodiversity, and mitigate climate change. Other programmes include healthy eating and living to save the plannet. Anti-poaching units are on our roadmap.
