The REST (Rare and Endangered Species Trust) mission is to initiate and support the scientific and practical study of rare and endangered species in Namibia and to help develop and facilitate solutions to community, national and international problems with these species. REST was founded in 2000 to research and provide logistic support for Namibias endangered species. The Trust was established with the primary focus being the Cape Griffon Vulture (Gyps Coprotheres) , Namibia's most endangered species. In its efforts, REST is gaining support from around Southern Africa and the world. Their advisory board includes Dr. Chris Brown, head of NNF (Namibia Nature Foundation) and acknowledged expert on Namibia's Cape Griffon vultures; Dr. Peter Mundy of Zimbabwe and Dr. Steven Piper, co-authors of an encyclopedia on vultures; Dr. John Mendelson in charge of our GIS satellite monitoring and Dr. Ara Monajem from Swazi land; and Prof. Gerhard Verdoorn of Birdlife South Africa.
