Education . Conservation . Transformation
Metamorphosis Foundation provides grants to charities & organisations [but not individuals] involved in conservation & improvement of the physical & natural environment. We look in particular, but not exclusively to support organisations who can facilitate training and professional development in the sector for those who otherwise might have difficulty in accessing career enhancing opportunities.
We are already supporting.
Tracker Academy trains unemployed disadvantaged rural people in traditional skills of wildlife tracking for work in the conservation and eco-tourism industry in Southern Africa. Practical tracking skills form the core component of the training. Since its inception Tracker Academy has trained 241 professional trackers with 94% now deployed into conservation jobs. The academy is a training division of the South African College for Tourism which operates under the auspices of the Peace Parks Foundation.
Southern African Wildlife College was established in 1997 by World Wildlife Fund-South Africa and subsequently supported by the Peace Parks foundation (founded by Dr Anton Rupert, President Nelson Mandela and Prince Bernard of the Netherlands). The college provides courses covering a broad range of conservation management skills as well as a range of specialist short courses. These include wildlife management, nature-based tourism, community-based natural resource management and other environmentally-related topics. To date it has trained over 18,000 students from across Africa and beyond.
