Protecting wildlife, restoring habitat, empowering communities
Suni-Ridge is actively involved in environmental and wildlife conservation in KwaZulu-Natal. We provide a flourishing habitat for an abundance of wildlife — including rare and protected species — and work with local communities to take ownership of protecting our natural heritage.
Conservation that includes the people who live alongside it
We encourage bush rehabilitation to expand the natural area available to wildlife, and we reach out to neighbouring communities to show how they can benefit from eco-tourism — interacting with wild animals in ways that protect both our wildlife and their cultural heritage.
Protect wildlife
We safeguard rare and protected species through anti-poaching patrols, fencing and habitat protection — keeping our wildlife safe in a genuine sanctuary.

Through alien plant removal and decades of patient rehabilitation, we are returning degraded land to thriving indigenous sand forest.

From the False Bay School to our Young Environmental Ambassadors course, we invest in the next generation of conservationists and community leaders.
Learn more →Conservation only lasts when communities benefit
Our involvement with local communities shows how they can benefit from eco-tourism and interact with wild animals in ways that are beneficial to our wildlife and environment — while preserving their local cultural heritage. Lasting conservation grows from shared ownership.
Support our campaigns
Each of our campaigns tackles a specific need — from protecting wildlife to caring for vulnerable children. Sponsorships and donations make them possible.
Khola Campaign
Goal · Wildlife protectionThe Khola Campaign provides protection for wildlife in and around Suni-Ridge. Sponsorships help cover the costs of a dedicated Wildlife Protection Unit and enable us to keep working with our neighbours to raise awareness of why bona fide wildlife sanctuaries are essential.

Eco-Ambassadors Campaign
Goal · Environmental educationWe provide education to local Zulu youths identified as leaders in their communities, offering training on environmental and wildlife issues. These Young Environmental Ambassadors are also equipped to teach their communities sustainable methods of subsistence farming and water management.
About the YEA Course
School Campaign
Goal · Caring for childrenFalse Bay School was established by Janet Cuthbertson in 1992. This campaign helps underprivileged primary school children with food, clothing, blankets, sports equipment and educational toys and games.
Many of these children are AIDS orphans who care for their younger siblings. One of our goals is to establish an orphanage to give them a safe and supported home.
