So far they have an excellent track record with a good number of reintroduction's back to the wild.
The second being the Zululand Conservation Trust which aims to support both Local Community and Conservation Initiatives. Whether it is painting a Crèche, conducting school children's awareness safaris or a conservation Fund raising Drive Leopard Mountain tries to support as much as possible.
