The Cape Leopard Trust (CLT) is one of South Africa’s most successful and forward thinking environmental NGOs with long-term projects running across the Western and Northern Cape Provinces of the country. The leopard has suffered extensive range loss in the Cape and is now extinct in many areas of the province where it formerly occurred. CLT aims to optimally facilitate conservation of the Cape's predator diversity through simultaneously implementing conservation strategies, research projects and education initiatives. Leopards Leap, the wine sponsor for this fun-filled yet educational event, is an ongoing sponsor of the Cape Leopard Trust, and Caroline Lowings, the owner of Wine Diva, the wine tasting blog and club for South African women, presenting this event has taken a keen interest in the plight of the Cape Leopards. Elizabeth Martins, who heads up the Trust's environmental camps for children, hopes to raise awareness at the workshop of the CLT's ongoing initiatives, as well as introduce the workshop attendees to the Adopt-A-Spot Programme that allows sponsors "time-share" in one of the leopards under the research of the CLT. Martins says, "This is a great opportunity for schools and large corporate to get involved in a sponsorship drive."
