What we do

Peace Parks Foundation facilitates the establishment of transfrontier conservation areas (peace parks) in southern Africa.

The non-profit organization was founded by Dr Nelson Mandela, HRH Prince Bernhard of the Netherlands and Dr Anton Rupert in 1997.

Together, they shared a dream of cross-border peace parks initiatives linking established conservation areas, fostering economic and tourism development that would benefit local communities, conserving biodiversity and promoting regional peace and stability.

Southern Africa’s peace parks today incorporate over half of the declared conservation estate in the region. The foundation's approach combines conservation with socio-economic development, to ensure the long-term preservation of protected areas.

Why Work For Us

Our team, Combatting Wildlife Crime, uses technology and software to help in this regard. This is a very unique blend of two separated industries that, when combined, saves the lives of people and animals.

Our Culture

We are a small team with a motto of "Screw it let's do it". We try everything, fail often, and through passion and dedication to what we believe in, we åre leaders in this space today.

Our Engineering Processes

Try. Fail. Continue.

Our Hiring Process

We want people who will fit in with our laid-back culture, not necessarily the smartest and sharpest coder. Be creative and simple in your problem-solving.
