Advocating for the Agro-Sustainable Biodiversity Wildlife Economy!
Wildlife Ranching South Africa (WRSA) is a voluntary, non-profit organisation representing the interests of wildlife ranchers, provincially, nationally, and internationally.
South Africa is renowned for its unique conservation success story which is attributed to the phenomenal role wildlife ranchers have played in securing essential wildlife habitat, through the rewilding and protection of species and biodiversity.
WRSA and its members play an integral role in the wildlife economy and advocate for the responsible and sustainable use of renewable natural resources. The expansion of wildlife habitat, conservation of species and protection of biodiversity outside of protected areas, is our game.
