Conservation Global continuously runs research programs whereby we aim to offer tangible assistance to conservation issues in Southern Africa. Here, we have displayed here only a part of our ideas and programmes.
Our research programs have spanned from thesis work to independent interests, and from clinical research on parasitology to qualitative research on regional food systems. We operate with a system of reciprocity, whereby our local partners work together with CG throughout the year and together we design interesting research projects that provide real help to conservation and provide a unique platform for students or researchers.

Conservation Global organized a dually educational and adventurous experience across South Africa. As a student I was able to learn more about apartheid and its effects on the nation from prominent political leaders. Also, I was able to better understand the needs and efforts of conservationists across the area to protect some of the worlds most endangered animals. From finding dolphins in the Indian Ocean, cage diving with great whites, and spotting lions on the game reserve, this experience reestablished the necessity in myself to protect our wild lands across the globe. If we do not protect them, who will?
The South Africa travel was the most incredible experience of life!! With Conservation Global’s help, I experienced memories that will last a lifetime. From learning about sustainability in townships and wildlife conservatory at game reserves, to the social and economic issues that South Africa struggles with today, Conservation Global allowed me to be enthusiastic and engaged throughout our trip, as well as encouraged me to think about how my relationship with nature and the environment will affect future generations for years to come.
