The Endangered Wildlife Trust has recently moved into our new Cape Town satellite office. Powered by coffee, donuts and sunshine, our staff have been hard at work brainstorming design ideas, painting the walls and moving furniture.  While moving out of our old office at Kirstenbosch Botanical Garden, we even stumbled upon a colleague’s previously-assumed–stolen scooter!  After this magnificent find, our Head of Operations, Lourens Leeuwner, proclaimed: ‘Ja, this little beast will run again!’ See the video of the rescue here.

We are extremely grateful to Bowmans and the Peninsula Hotel, among others, for furniture donations, and to Paintsmiths for the generous donation of non-toxic, eco-friendly paint. We selected their beautiful green hues to make our office a tranquil, inspiring space where we can focus, converse and exchange ideas, and receive guests.

In a future edition of Conservation Matters, we will show you what our office looks like once complete. 

However, we still need a few things, so if there are any potential donors out there who would like to help us with things like a water cooler, printer, décor, coffee machine, or kitchen utilities, please do reach out to me at carinab@ewt.org
