Local Programmes & Projects

On the Ground in South Africa

At Bitcoin in the Wild, we work alongside trusted conservation partners and local communities to support wildlife conservation, environmental education, and community-led protection efforts. Through Bitcoin, we aim to increase awareness, strengthen support for impactful projects, and help connect donors directly with meaningful work on the ground.

Community & Education

Wildlife Awareness & Education Programs

We believe education and community empowerment are essential for long-term conservation. Through environmental education and wildlife awareness initiatives, we help inspire young people and support local communities to become active stewards of nature, sustainable development, and wildlife protection.

Anti-Poaching Unit

Our fund aims at protecting wildlife in South Africa. We cannot protect elephants and rhinos without the support of rangers. Poaching and Wildlife Trade is in the top 3 crimes globally, alongside human trafficking and drugs.

Our Track Record

Actions speak louder than words. Here is a timeline of what we have accomplished.

October 2025

Present at the Lugano Plan B Exhibition Center

Bitcoin in the Wild attended Lugano's Plan ₿ Forum for the first time — sharing our conservation mission with the global Bitcoin community.

We showcased how Bitcoin can strengthen wildlife conservation by supporting education, anti-poaching initiatives, and community-led projects across Africa. Together with Street Cyber, we offered their Wildlife Designs as poster prints to raise funds for our conservation work.

We were also honoured to present The Sovereign Mother from The Bitcoin Babies project in Kenya.

Onboarding Shops at Maseke Village

Together with Luthando from Bitcoin Ekasi, we visited Maseke Village, where The Bushbabies are actively working within the local community. Before introducing Bitcoin to local businesses, we met with the Tribal Council to seek their approval and support. Once permission was granted, we helped onboard village shops using a range of Bitcoin tools, including Machankura, Satoshi, and Brink Wallet, depending on the needs and connectivity available to each business.

Visit to The Black Mambas near Hoedspruit in South-Africa

Together with Luthando from Bitcoin Ekasi, we visited the Black Mambas to learn about their work and shared our experience with Bitcoin. Since the Mambas currently rely on traditional financial partners, they are not yet allowed to accept Bitcoin directly. That is why we accept Bitcoin donations on their behalf. All contributions are kept in a self-custody wallet until the funds are needed for their projects.

Adopting Bitcoin Conference Cape Town

As the Bitcoin technology is new and not always well understood, education and explanation is needed. We worked together with Bitcoin Ekasi to get the wildlife organisations HERD Elephants, Transfrontier Africa, The Black Mambas, and The BushBabies to the Adopting Bitcoin Conference in Cape Town, South Africa. We set up a GeyserFund fundraiser and raised 1,850,295 SATS to cover the travel expenses for 3 team members of the Black Mambas rangers unit to attend. Their participation enabled them to gain insights into adopting Bitcoin for enhanced financial and transactional security within their local communities.
