OUR PASSION
A conservation organisation focused on tangible solutions for Africa’s most vulnerable species. From collaring and conservation of cheetah in South Africa to supporting endangered wild dog monitoring, to collaborating on anti-poaching efforts, we safeguard the future of Africa’s wildlife.
THE FOUNDATION’S CREATION
Founded by Andrew Bone, a renowned wildlife artist and conservationist, the Forever Wild Foundation was born from his deep passion for Africa’s wilderness. Andrew’s journey began in the Zambezi Valley, where he spent years guiding and learning about the region's unique flora and fauna. During his extensive travels and conservation work the urgent need for action to protect wildlife was highlighted.
In 2010, Andrew’s hands-on approach saw him supporting a rehabilitation project for Samango monkeys, ensuring resources were used effectively. This experience solidified his belief that wildlife conservation required an organisation that could offer real support on the ground. By 2011, the Forever Wild Foundation was officially established as a non-profit NGO in South Africa committed to conservation, partnering with leading professionals as trustees and Wildlife ACT.
