About Southern African Wildlife College

The Southern African Wildlife College (SAWC) was established in close cooperation with all interested parties in Southern Africa, including national and provincial government departments, other conservation agencies, and the Southern African Development Community (SADC) prior to 1997. The SAWC is an independent SADC training institution and does not receive a government subsidy. SAWC is a registered Non-profit Organization (registration number 046-675-NPO) and proudly supported by both the Peace Parks Foundation and WWF-SA.
The main objective of the SAWC is to provide people from Africa with the required motivation and relevant skills to manage and conserve their protected areas and associated fauna and flora on a sustainable basis in cooperation with local communities.
