Wild Spirit Fund
Annual Report
2024 Actions
In Wild Spirit Fund, there are no middlemen; we work across Africa on the ground in our projects and in collaboration with local experts. We pass the message from schools to policymakers.
Biodiversity's Conservation & Health
Placement of radio tracking devices in elephants and rhinos
To reduce human-wildlife conflict and enhance species protection, Wild Spirit Foundation funded the collaring of three elephants in Tsavo National Park (Kenya) and supported black rhino horn tracking in South Africa. These activities are essential to conservation strategy and enable early warning systems and critical movement data collection.
Veterinary work in nature reserves.
Along with Wild Spirit Vet, 60 international interns participated in clinical and wildlife management projects across South Africa. Fieldwork included cheetah health checks, rhino orphan rehabilitation, lion contraception, disease control in buffaloes, and wildlife translocations. These efforts support animal welfare, biodiversity, and future veterinary leaders.
Health and conservation Research of gorillas in Gabon.
Following the installation of solar panels at the Doussala Research Station, wildlife health studies are now powered by renewable energy. This milestone enables ongoing research on gorilla health and conservation in Moukalaba-Doudou National Park, with local collaboration and international support. The project also supports community-based initiatives like the Papa Yitou Project.
Vet Clinic at chimpanzee rescue centre
In 2024, Wild Spirit Foundation responded to emergency calls in Gabon, rescuing orphaned gorillas and chimpanzees affected by poaching and bushmeat trade. The foundation launched an Emergency Fund to cover urgent veterinary care, transportation, and logistics. Preparations are underway for the 2025 release of 30 chimpanzees from a laboratory to Loango Island.
Education + Coexistence with wildlife + Gender equality + Job creation
Maasai primary school in Tanzania
In 2024, our school provided education, health services, daily meals, and clean water access to 210 children from the Maasai community. With strong support from local leaders and families, the school has become a beacon of opportunity, gender equity, and environmental awareness.

Water for Life
Our school in Orkisima, Tanzania, is located in one of the driest areas of the country. The long dry season, from July to December, severely limits access to surface water and increases conflict with wildlife.
In October 2024, with tanks empty and no rainfall in sight, we delivered 10,000 litres of drinking water to support the 210 students and their families. Thanks to donor support and local collaboration, the government began canalising clean water from the nearby mountains, and we reinforced our communal tanks to improve water storage.
Reliable access to water now brings health, safety, and hope to the community—and strengthens peaceful coexistence with wildlife.
