Founded in 2004 by Dr. Richard Leakey and Harold Wackman, WildlifeDirect provides a voice to African conservationists. Initially focused on raising awareness and funds for conservation efforts, the organization has evolved to tackle critical issues like elephant poaching and community engagement in conservation. The flagship campaign, Hands Off Our Elephants, launched in 2013, has garnered significant local support and advocacy for wildlife protection.
WildlifeDirect has successfully increased the population of Grevy's zebras in Kenya through community engagement and citizen science initiatives. This approach demonstrates the effectiveness of involving local populations in conservation efforts, leading to legislative changes that protect wildlife.
