Ingwe's 3rd Anniversary Auction

Invest in the Next 15 Years of Leopard Conservation

Three years ago, Ingwe began with a clear mission: to protect South Africa's magnificent leopards through evidence-based action. Today, thanks to our passionate citizen scientists, we are standing strong. Your bid ensures this work doesn't just continue—it scales to meet the challenges of tomorrow.

Your investment delivers immediate & tangible solutions

Every contribution from this auction directly funds the two most critical initiatives necessary to save leopards now and build our capacity for the future.

Project 1: Life-Saving Road Ecology

The Challenge: Road mortality is a new threat to leopard populations. We are transitioning from raw data to real-world solutions.

Action: Fund essential fieldwork to finalize our research data.

Impact: Implement the first on-the-ground mitigation measures this year. Your support ensures the immediate continuity of this life-saving work.

Project 2: Deployment of the Ingwe Mobile App

The Challenge: Managing and analyzing vast citizen science data is currently bottlenecking our progress.

Action: Cover the final development and deployment costs.

Impact: Launch the first AI-integrated citizen science app for faster leopard identification and data analysis. This innovation saves our Executive Director 20+ hours per month, freeing up crucial leadership time to secure long-term funding and scale our protective projects.

The Way Forward: Building the Team We Need

Ingwe's rapid success—driven by research design, data analysis, and key partnerships—is currently managed by a largely one-person team. To deliver the quick, definitive results needed to save leopards, we must build a specialized, dedicated team.

Your support is the key to scaling our organization, enabling us to launch future critical projects and secure vital wildlife corridors.

Our Mission: To effectively conserve leopards in South Africa by empowering stakeholders through practical scientific recommendations, enabled by formal research, citizen science, novel technologies, and proactive collaboration.
