Silent Heroes Foundation

Enhancing one health and protecting Africa's iconic wildlife through innovative concervation.

Endangered and Threatened Species Protection

 

In addition to our work at the human-wildlife interface, where we employ a transdisciplinary approach to innovative conservation, we focus on primary conservation initiatives involving endangered and threatened species.  Sadly, wildlife populations across Africa are threatened due to a number of anthropogenic stressors, including habitat loss, land-use change, and poaching.  When populations drop below a viable threshold, they become even more susceptible to disease outbreaks or natural disasters that could push them to extinction.

Silent Heroes supports orphaned wildlife care, endangered species conservation, and research on innovative ways to ensure the future of threatened and endangered species.

About Us

Dr. Adams has nearly 20 years of experience in wildlife veterinary medicine, conservation, and issues related to One Health in Africa. She has worked with a variety of domestic and wild animals, and has a particular interest in endangered species conservation and studying disease at the human/domestic animal/wildlife interface. Through her career in Africa, she recognized a fundamental link that was often missing in field work, that being the lack of sustainable supplies in order for veterinary and conservation operations to be successful.
