About Biologists without Borders

Back to South Africa Safari 2019 menu

Biologists without Borders (https://biologistswithoutborders.org) is a non-profit organization dedicated to protecting threatened species and their habitats through scientific research. It was started in 2015 by Wildlife Biologist, Sue Orloff, to help wildlife reserves in developing countries to conduct the requisite studies to effectively manage their wildlife populations. Biologists without Borders offers a unique approach to conservation needs by providing professional wildlife biologists the opportunity to volunteer their time and expertise to important research projects around the world. They help match research needs of wildlife reserves with specialists who can enable these reserves to achieve their management goals. In addition, they provide the necessary equipment to conduct that research. This allows reserve managers to respond to key threats to species and their habitats. Their approach also helps build bridges among U.S. scientists and their colleagues oversees.

Biologists without Borders partners with the Wild Tomorrow Fund (https://wildtomorrow.org), which is dedicated to the protection of threatened and endangered species and the habitats they depend on for survival. They want to ensure that the world that comes after us is a world in which a wild tomorrow is possible. They work on the ground in southern Africa and our vision is for a world in which wildlife habitats are expanded and protected, and where existing reserves have the resources needed to keep their animals safe.
