ABOUT US

Empowering Sustainable Wildlife Ranching in South Africa

At Wildlife Ranching South Africa (WRSA) , we champion the responsible and sustainable use of South Africa’s rich biodiversity. As a voluntary, non-profit organization, we represent wildlife ranchers across all levels—provincial, national, and international.

Our members play a pivotal role in conservation, habitat restoration, and the promotion of the wildlife economy. Through advocacy, education, and empowerment, we strive to ensure that wildlife ranching contributes positively to ecological preservation and economic development.

Scapegoating Lead-Based Ammunition: Why Bullets Aren’t the Smoking Gun in Vulture Declines

The widespread decline of vulture populations across Africa has rightly become a significant conservation concern. While various anthropogenic threats contribute to this crisis, the narrative often points to lead-based ammunition as a primary culprit for unintended, secondary lead poisoning in these scavenging birds. However, an in-depth look at available evidence and arguments from stakeholders in South Africa suggests that this may not be the main source of mortality, and that other, often more pervasive, threats demand greater attention.
