Major causes include the loss and fragmentation of their habitats. But it's not too late to turn the tide for wildlife.Wild Tomorrow Fund is focused on saving and restoring habitat in KwaZulu-Natal South Africa to create a wildlife corridor that expands wild space and will link two large wildlife reserves together, including a UNESCO World Heritage Wetland Park. The corridor will expand and reconnect habitat for many threatened species from elephants to black rhinos, and provide extra climate resilience by giving access for wildlife to its lifesaving freshwater river and springs.We work together with the local community to ensure that our wildlife conservation work brings tangible benefits to the people who live alongside the wildlife corridor." } ] } ] ```
