When you choose to travel with WWF, you are choosing to support conservation around the world. This is because a portion of your tour cost goes into WWF's general conservation fund.
Your travels also boost the economies of communities that rely on sustainably managed tourism for their livelihoods. Without an emphasis on the people who live in the places WWF visits and works to protect, the larger conservation effort is put at risk.
WWF works with South African authorities in Kruger National Park to increase its number of black rhinos. Scientists believe the park can accommodate at least 2,500 more. Visit Southern Africa with WWF October 21 - November 1, 2009.
