ECOLIFE TRUST
ECOLIFE Trust is a Botswana-based conservation and community organisation committed to protecting wildlife, restoring natural ecosystems, and empowering local communities through ethical conservation, responsible tourism, research, and education.
We are founded on the belief that conservation can only succeed when local people are respected, nature is protected, and tourism is practiced responsibly.

What We Do
Wildlife & Habitat Conservation
We protect endangered species, restore degraded habitats, and support healthy ecosystems through non-invasive and ethical conservation practices. All programmes are informed by science and designed to deliver measurable, long-term ecological impact.
Community Development & Education
Local communities are central to conservation success. We support environmental education, youth engagement, skills development, and community-based initiatives that create sustainable social and economic benefits.
Research & Scientific Collaboration
ECOLIFE Trust supports ethical research conducted by local and international scientists to strengthen conservation knowledge, inform policy, and improve sustainable land management.
Responsible Tourism & Eco-Volunteering
We use responsible tourism as a tool for conservation and community upliftment. All tourism and volunteer programmes are carefully managed to ensure low environmental impact, ethical engagement, and direct benefits to conservation and local people.

We work with government institutions, land boards, conservation authorities, traditional leadership, and the private sector to support national conservation priorities and sustainable development goals.
