Our actions
In Ethiopia
The Wild Breath association was born out of an urgent need in the field: the Chebera Churchura sanctuary, a jewel of Ethiopian biodiversity, is under threat.
Here, the survival of wildlife depends on a fragile balance between humans and nature.
Our mission is clear: to provide direct logistical and human support to those on the front line of conservation. We do not just observe; we take action to give the guardians of this land the means to carry out their mission.
Located in south-western Ethiopia, Chebera Churchura National Park is one of the last wild Edens in East Africa. Between steep-sided valleys, wooded savannahs and hot springs, this 1,200 km² territory is home to vital populations of African elephants, buffalo, lions, hyenas, baboons and birdlife that is unique in the world.
But this sanctuary is a fragile fortress. Isolated and difficult to access, it faces increasing pressures: poaching, deforestation, and human-wildlife conflicts.
2- Awareness & education:
Wild Breath raises awareness about biodiversity protection through:
Educational content.
Photo exhibitions.
Field reports.
Meetings and sharing during immersions.
Protecting tribes that live in harmony with nature.
We want to sow seeds of love for living things, one person at a time.
1- 61 rangers, one mission: to defend Chebera.
In the field, wildlife protection rests on the shoulders of 61 men. These rangers are the park's sentinels.
They patrol day and night, often risking their lives in extreme conditions.
However, their courage is currently hampered by a lack of basic resources.
Because effective support requires a thorough understanding of needs, Wild Breath has already compiled the identity and characteristics of each team member. We have established a detailed database including:
The name of each of the 61 rangers.
Their exact measurements (heights and shoe sizes)
Their geographical assignments within the sanctuary.
Protecting a ranger means protecting thousands of hectares. By ensuring their safety and thermal comfort, we strengthen their capacity for intervention and their morale.
They are no longer alone in the face of the immensity of the territory.
3- Micro-financing of local projects:
Depending on the funds raised, the association contributes to:
Supporting conservation projects.
Financing urgent needs.
Participating in the training or equipping of rangers.
Promoting existing local initiatives.
Every euro is used transparently and conscientiously.
