Natural Selection supports the vision of the Botswana Community and Conservation Initiative (BCCI), which provides regional conservation and support for rural communities to develop sustainable land-use practices that promote conservation-based economic opportunities, facilitate landscape-scale wildlife movements, and provide for climate change resilience.

Natural Selection has also partnered with Coaching Conservation ‘to provide local people with the critical information they need to stay safe and healthy during the pandemic.’ ‘Over the last three years, 1.5% of every guest’s stay in [Natural Selection’s] camps have gone towards community and conservation projects. Combined with the direct contributions that [Natural Selection’s] camps make to local community outreach, this amounts to nearly 1 million USD of committed funds.’

Natural Selection started the Etosha Heights Rhino Protection program, which is an anti-poaching group that monitor Rhinos, and ensure that poachers are unable to illegally hunt these endangered creatures. ‘We take rhino conservation extremely seriously, and the Etosha Heights team work tirelessly to safeguard the future of these bushveld unicorns and ensure that many more generations can enjoy watching them.

Within the reserve we have an anti-poaching camp and team who are dedicated to protecting the rhinos and preventing any illegal hunting from happening along the boundaries of the reserve. Our rangers are on the ground 24 hours a day and have completed an intensive training programme to ensure that they’re the best of the best. Combined with new state of the art anti-poaching surveillance technology, this team is a force to be reckoned with.’

Natural Selection ensures that 1.5% of your expedition fees goes to wildlife conservation. They also work with the local communities, governments and conservation organisations in order to help protect conservation areas and sustain them. The camps that are built are subtle and blend in with the environment and the habitats that already exist there, causing minimal disruption to the surrounding wildlife.

The increase in the number of elephants in the Okavango Delta in recent years is a cause for celebration. However, for villagers along the Delta’s panhandle and outskirts, the sudden boost in elephant numbers means that their land is more likely to be trampled and humans may be at risk of fatal encounters. Natural Selection has recognised that transportation for local communities is a need, and they worked with EcoExist and the Okavango Community Trust to launch the ‘Elephant Express’ in January 2020. The ‘Elephant Express’ service transports children to schools safely, as well as helping patients get to clinics without the fear of crossing paths with a gigantic elephant.

Natural Selections has been working with the local Khwai Village in order to identify needs within the community and create solutions. Natural Selections have launched several projects to do this, such as the Feed A Child programme which provides schoolchildren with a healthy vitamin-rich meal at the start of the school day, setting up a pre-school in Khwai Village and providing an income for the teachers, supporting the village elders and disabled members of the community, and providing homes with electricity using solar power. Natural Selections’ initiatives not only help the local communities but inspires the local villagers to see ecotourism in a positive light, helping to prevent human and animal conflict.

The Singkwenza Toys to Waste Workshop provides a hands-on learning experience for educators, parents and villagers alike who seek to craft toys for the often-deprived village children. Toys are hard to come by in isolated regions and remote villages across Southern Africa, and so this initiative seeks to impart the skills and knowledge of how to construct toys from recyclable and abundant materials readily available within the community.

It should go without saying that the key factor to sustainable, eco-friendly tourism is a consciousness for environment and respect for the lands situated within. While this unfortunately isn’t the case with all institutions, Natural Selection seeks to set an example.

All Natural Selection safari lodges are constructed from readily available, locally sourced and recyclable materials, negating the need to haul vast quantities of lumber and other raw construction materials long distances through remote eco-systems and habitats, avoiding the disturbance of natural wildlife throughout Southern Africa. Special care is taken when scouting out the location for a potential retreat, as to consider the implications on the surrounding wildlife and environment before corporate interest.

Wherever possible, all Natural Selection retreats are powered using renewable energy sources. In-camp facilities such as lighting and heated water are powered using solar panel electricity, residing conventional diesel-powered generators to supporting and emergency applications only. Over time, these initiatives make a profoundly positive ecological impact that aid in the conservation of the environment and local eco-systems, which is why Natural Selection is constantly striving to incorporate these technologies wherever applicable, seeking to comprehensively negate their collective carbon footprint by whatever means possible.
