Mission and Program Overview

Mission

Edge is a 501(c)(3) organization devoted to the ambitious protection of african wildlife. We were founded on the frontlines of the poaching crisis and work in multiple countries with international partners to protect, preserve and ensure a future for africa's most targeted and vulnerable species. We connect extraordinary expertise to counter-poaching units to make them more capable than the poaching threat that they face. Where we develop security for wildlife, we invest also in communities where poachers are recruited and seek to empower those who live alongside endangered animals. We aim to stop poaching by empowering protectors and communities to have the skills necessary to effectively, efficiently, and safely protect these creatures. We want results, not headlines. We employ quiet professionals. We make counter-poaching units more capable. We are a force multiplier. Our operations are precise and strategic and often secret.

While edge began by providing development, support and resources for those who protect african wildlife, we recognize the need to also support the communities that are directly impacted by poverty and criminal syndicates. We understand that to protect vulnerable wildlife you must also protect the vulnerable communities that live alongside endangered species.
