Hluhluwe-iMfolozi Corridor Road Cleanup · 3 March 2020

The Uthingo Foundation is a UK-registered charity dedicated to people-centered conservation. Our mission is to enable communities and wildlife to thrive and live in harmony together, by means of empowering, educating and inspiring. ​ 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. Rural communities living within and around wilderness areas need to see themselves as Nature's Guardians and active participants in conservation, if they are to become critical partners in conserving Africa's unique wildlife. Uthingo's vision is to create the mind-set "For People for the Environment".

Story

The Hluhluwe-iMfolozi corridor road runs between both sides of the park, and is the main access into the reserve for visitors and the main road through the park for many locals. The road allows wildlife to cross between both sides of the reserve unobstructed by fences. However litter is a constant problem

We have all seen the devastating impact plastics do to our environment and our animals. Here litter, especially plastics and glass, are a continuous threat to the ecosytem and wildlife itself. The wildlife here are becoming more exposed to these potentially fatal objects, increasing the risk of them making their way into their digestive systems as well as into the ecosystem.

The Uthingo Foundation has partnered with Ezemvelo KZN Wildlife, local communities and schools for an all-day event to clean up this corridor road from litter. Our mission is to spread awareness and make a long-lasting impact on local communities and tourists to value our wild spaces and reduce our impact on them as much as possible and to become guardians for our environment and its wildlife. We must all be accountable.

Please donate anything you can to our campaign, all funds raised will go directly to coordinating and running this event and spreading this important message. Our dream is for this to be an annual event, hopefully with less and less litter to pick up .

Thank you
