Our Mission
Impact Driven Approach
In alignment with UN Sustainable Development Goals
Investing in Communities
Gazelle commits a share of every GHG offset to re-investing in communities to promote sustainable development projects. Our active re-investment into communities promotes long-term sustainability by rewarding better pastureland management.

Supporting Local Research
Our partnership with the Kalahari Science Institute, one of the few permanent research stations in the Kalahari, provides a logistics hub for Gazelle's operations. The KSI is set to expand with a wet lab, herbarium and conference spaces being completed by summer 2023 supporting a broad range of environmental science research.

Protecting Biodiversity
Maintaining biodiversity is key to preserving ecosystems at risk. Gazelle prioritizes choosing project site locations alongside Wildlife Management Areas (WMAs) which serve as increasingly threatened buffer zones between wildlife and civilian populations.
