The Matriarchs

We share women's stories through short films, writing, and powerful blog pieces.

The Matriarchs as an organisation is first and foremost a community that aims to support women who are working to address environmental and humanitarian issues.

Some stories begin with a place.

Others begin with the people who refuse to stop imagining what that place could become.

In the landscapes between the Garden Route and Addo, Joan and Rhian are part of a much bigger story; one of restoration, connection and finding new ways for people and wildlife to share the same space.

This film is a glimpse into the work, the landscape and the women behind the vision.

What happens when a shared love for the land becomes a family legacy?

For Joan and Rhian, our newest matriarchs, conservation is more than a shared passion. It’s a mother-daughter partnership built across generations; bringing together experience, science and a belief that landscapes can be connected, restored and shared.

Behind Eden To Addo | South Africa is a story about two different strengths working towards the same vision: creating living corridors where wildlife, people and nature can thrive side.

Full film and blog coming later this week.

Today we’re celebrating the women out in the field doing the hard work of conservation.

Whether they’re tracking wildlife, protecting habitats, working with communities or responding to challenges on the ground, female rangers play an important role in protecting our natural world.

We’ve been fortunate to meet many incredible women on our assignments, each bringing their own passion, knowledge and determination to the job.

Thank you to all the female rangers who dedicate their lives to protecting wildlife and wild places. Your work matters.

Today we celebrate you.

On Bicycle Day, we celebrate the women of the Bwindi Women Bicycle Project, an initiative creating opportunity on the edge of Bwindi Impenetrable National Park.

From repairing and building bicycles to renting them to visitors and providing affordable transport to local communities, these women are doing far more than keeping bicycles on the road. They are gaining skills, building independence, and creating new opportunities for themselves and their families.

It is a reminder that meaningful change often starts with something simple. In this case, a bicycle has become a tool for empowerment, helping women move forward while strengthening the communities around them.

One person. One community. Countless lives touched.

Stephanie Nyirahumure works as a community health worker in Rwanda, helping families access healthcare where they need it most.

Her story is a reminder that impact isn’t always loud. Sometimes it looks like a conversation, a home visit, a child receiving care, or a mother finding support.

These are the stories that connect us; stories of resilience, service, and the people quietly changing the world around them.

Look at our blog and film below to know more about Stephanie’s story.

Their joy isn’t just for show; Its lived.
Maasai women carry their stories in every song and every dance.

With every clap and voice raised together, they celebrate life, family and the strength that holds them together.

It’s more than just music and movement . It’s a tradition full of joy and unity, passed down through generations.

While on assignment with A&K Sanctuary we visited the Bwindi Women Bicycle Project, a women-led initiative based near Bwindi Impenetrable Forest.

The project centres around bicycles as tools for independence and income. Women lead guided bike tours through the community, learn bicycle mechanics, and use these skills to support their families. It was inspiring to see how something as simple as a bicycle can create opportunity, confidence and freedom of movement.

Spending time with these women reminded us how powerful women-focused projects can be when they are rooted in real needs and local leadership.
