Wild Wonderful World 2022 Annual Financial Report : simplebooklet.com

BY MICHELLE PENGILLYI’m thrilled to present our first Wild Wonderful WorldConservation Annual Report, detailing our impact andoperations in 2022.© Wild Wonderful World | 2022 Annual Financial Report Page 3 of 17What began in 2017 as an expedition through Africa to volunteer for wildlife conservationinitiatives, today Wild Wonderful World Conservation is a registered non-profit organisationdedicated to empowering conservation projects with the funding and the resources they needto keep our wild spaces thriving. In 2022, we donated over R845,000 (USD49,000) toconservation operations, with thanks to our generous donors and supporters. Our 2017 expedition and subsequent projects have been immensely eye opening regardingthe challenges facing wildlife across the African continent. Rapidly growing humanpopulations are putting increasing pressure on reserves and parks, with communities edgingever closer and often spilling into, wilderness spaces. The resulting human-wildlife conflictwhere both people and animals are competing for shared resources of water, food and landis severe and becoming as big, if not a bigger challenge to conservationists than poaching. Working to find solutions therefore that help people as well as animals is critical in this raceto conserve wildlife. As such, we have tried to vary our approach by not only fundingemergency operations that directly save animals but also support research and communityprojects such as bee-keeping / bee-hive fencing that focus on protecting & upliftingcommunities on the periphery of game reserves. Our funding efforts have also been drivenon a needs basis, supporting important rhino horn trimming operations in a plight to keepour last few African rhino’s safe from poachers. We continue to be inspired by the people we work with and believe more than ever that ifeveryone can fight a corner, support just one project that protects one area, then we stand achance of success. I want to take this opportunity on behalf of the whole Wild WonderfulWorld team to say a heartfelt thank you to our dedicated donors and sponsors, without whomthe achievements you will read about in the coming pages will not have been possible. I amfilled with optimism that the coming year will see our impact grow greater still and we lookforward to travelling that road together. Sincerely,Michelle PengillyFROM OUR CEO

RAPID RESPONSE FUNDR42,096.09 2022 HIGHLIGHTSCONSERVATION SUCCESSIn 2022, we raised a total of R1,126,320.35 for conservation efforts, which is a 46%increase compared to 2021 (R624,683). A total of R845,423.92 was donated toconservation action, compared to R492,950.92 in 2021.We started 2022 with snaring and subsistence poaching at an all-time high, with manyendangered species falling victim as collateral damage to these illegal poaching activities. Covid19 and the subsequent loss of jobs in the tourism sector was a key driver for thisincrease and whilst travel was restored in 2022, re-employment lagged behind and we stillexperienced a high incidence of snares into 2022. The recurrent emergency calls warrantedthe necessity of our Rapid Response Fund, which is in continuous need of funding to enablewildlife vets and helicopter assistance to reach injured animals in time. Despite often horrific-looking, infected wounds, the quick turnaround time for operations that our fund providesmeans that survival rates are extremely high after removing the snares!© Wild Wonderful World | 2022 Annual Financial ReportFRONTIER PROJECTSR619,174.58 FLYING FOR CONSERVATIONR184,153.25 TOTAL DONATED PER PILLARPage 6 of 17

A HISTORIC RHINO HORN TRIMMINGThis operation was a first-of-its-kind in the Sabi Sands Private Game Reserve. An area of high-profile luxury private safari lodges & tourism, the fact that this reserve has implemented thispivotal change in its rhino management marks a hugely important milestone in rhinoconservation - for the first time the death rate of rhino's surpassed the birth rate. The SabiSands has now joined neighbouring reserves and significantly expanded the dehorned zonecomprised of Kruger National Park, Balule, Klaserie, Manyeleti and Thornybush reserves.From prior experience, this initiative - together with other measures including raisingawareness, education of the communities surrounding the reserve and continued anti-poaching operations - will deter future poaching incidents and reduce pressure on the rhinopopulation to allow the natural birth rate to once again trump losses.Read more on the background of the operation here.A temporary relief in emergencyoperations towards the middle of2022 was highly welcomed, as wefocussed on completing thefundraising for a major large-scaleanti-poaching operation. In May2022, Wild Wonderful WorldConservation NPC funded a highlysuccessful rhino horn trimmingoperation within the Sabi SandProtected Area (an open reservesystem comprised of the Sabi SandWildtuin, Mala Mala Game Reserveand the Sabie Game Reserve).

IMPACTFUL TRAVEL - RHINO CONSERVATION ON SAFARI© Wild Wonderful World | 2022 Annual Financial Report Page 8 of 17We continued to contribute towards extensive rhino dehorning operations in July & August.Wild Wonderful World Conservation NPC funded the dehorning of six black rhino on BaluleNature Reserve, in a follow-up operation of their previous dehorning cycle. After initiating adehorning programme in 2019, poaching losses were dramatically reduced and Balule nowsits on 643 days since a rhino has been lost - a remarkable achievement, testament to theimportance of follow-up dehornings and long-term conservation management plans.Wild Wonderful World travellers also contributed to the rhino dehorning management planon Phinda Private Game Reserve in Kwazulu-Natal (South Africa). Michelle & guests gothands-on during; collecting DNA samples, ear-notching, monitoring breathing and stabilisingthe 4000+ pound animal during the dehorning - another conservation effort that has provenimmensely effective in deterring poaching activity on the reserve.Until you are involved on the ground, it can be hard to truly comprehend the effortsundertaken to protect our endangered species. Experiences like this do not come aroundoften and are only offered as and when timing is appropriate and with the animals well-beingas the highest priority.

Known as one of Africa’s mostendangered species, Wild Dog's arenotoriously difficult to protect. Theyrequire a vast amount of land onwhich to hunt and breed and areknown for moving extensively acrossand often between, fenced reserves insearch of new territories. Fitting GPScollars on key individuals is essentialto be able to track & follow up on thepacks, especially when young animalsare ready to disperse and form theirown packs. © Wild Wonderful World | 2022 Annual Financial ReportPage 9 of 17In a three-part operation, Wild Wonderful World funded a Wild Dog management projectspanning between Zululand KZN and the Kalahari. In collaboration with African Wildlife Vets,a young male Wild Dog from Zululand that was showing signs of potentially splitting fromone of the main packs, was collared in August 2022. Across in the Kalahari, a pack of dogs containing three young females were notorious forbreaking out of the reserve’s borders, causing issues and conflict with surroundingcommunities. A plan was formulated to capture the three females and bond them with theyoung collared male, and together translocate them into a new, larger reserve where theywould be safe. Alas, a 3-day search to find the pack proved unsuccessful. A second attempt was made in November 2022 and this time, three young female wild dogswere successfully darted and a collar fitted to one of them for future monitoring. They weretransported 1000km to Zululand where they were placed in a boma alongside the collaredmale to bond the packs. Once this process is complete, the new pack will be translocated toa reserve with ample space for them to be successful and in doing so, help strengthen thepopulation of wild dogs in Southern Africa.

FLYING FOR CONSERVATIONIn November 2022 we had the opportunity to run our own helicopter operation out ofHoedspruit, with Wild Wonderful World board member Grant Pengilly as the primary pilot. In the first month he flew 19 hours, flying both conservation missions and safari/ tourismcharters, with each of the tourism charters donating a portion of the profits back toconservation. Unfortunately, mid-December the R44 helicopter was grounded due to a safetyconcern with the machine. This led into its expiry and time for scheduled re-build. To date,the owner of the machine is still waiting for a re-build kit so we have had to pause operationsuntil the helicopter is back at hand. That being said, we remain committed to contributing to conservation efforts with aerialsupport and have a number of local partners that we work closely with to ensure helicopterand fixed wing aircraft can still be deployed as and when needed.

ZAMBEZI VALLEY BEE PROJECT© Wild Wonderful World | 2022 Annual Financial Report Page 11 of 17In December 2022, we partnered with the Zambezi Elephant Fund to establish a community-led beekeeping project within one of the five villages in the Gache-Gache community, as apilot project for potential expansion into four other nearby villages. Gache-Gache is acollection of five rural villages of around 3,000 people in total, located in the Zambezi Valleynear Matusadona National Park in Zimbabwe. They are one of the few communities locatedwithin a wildlife area. This inevitable results in high human-wildlife conflict, in particular crop-raiding by elephants.The aim of the project is to mitigate human-elephant conflict, and simultaneously provideeconomic benefit to community members through the sale of honey. The project forms part ofa larger, ongoing human-wildlife conflict mitigation project underway in the Gache-Gachecommunity, by using beehive fences to deter elephants from raiding crops. This techniquehas been used in other countries with high rates of success, as it is well known that elephantsdo not like the sound of bees. The project will decrease conflict, and increase coexistencebetween humans and elephants. To date we have supported the project with USD3,250 for stage one implementation andhave promised further funding in future if the project shows success.

MALDIVES WHALE SHARK PROGRAM© Wild Wonderful World | 2022 Annual Financial Report Page 12 of 17In November 2022, a group of five Wild Wonderful World Safaris guests travelled toMaldives on a conservation mission to contribute to the protection of Whale Sharks. Incollaboration with WWW Conservation NPC and the Maldives Whale Shark ResearchProgram, the group were led by marine biologist Lauren Arthur and professionalvideographer David Eastaugh.The expedition donated USD1,250 to the Maldives Whale Shark Research Programme(MWSRP. This research program carries out whale shark research and fosters community-focused conservation initiatives in the Maldives.By contributing to their work, we support the safeguarding of the rich biodiversity and fragilemarine ecosystems that are the basis for not only whale sharks, but also life, livelihood andculture in the Maldives.

Darting with a tranquilliser is the only way to safely treat an injured wildanimal or collar it for research purposes. Most of the time, where it concerns predators likehyena or lion, we try to locate & dart the animals at nightfall to minimise our impact as muchas possible. Where the use of a spotlight is needed to accurately identify and target theanimal, the light often chases the animal out of reach. With the help of a generous donor, we were able to sponsor a Thermal Night Vision Scopeto the value of R36,000. Joel has already used the scope on a conservation mission inSenegal, where they collared some of the last, critically endangered West African lions. Thecollaring operation forms part of research conducted by Panthera to protect this unique lionpopulation. Whilst on one of the night operations, the team actually heard poachers racing byin a 4x4 so the scope provided additional safety for the team members involved!
