What we're building next
We start in the Southern African bushveld, and the world doesn't stop there. For every continent we have a list of the real species people see and care about most, ranked by how often they are recorded in the wild, how threatened they are and how well they fit our reserves. We work down each list, one model at a time.
Species lists from wildlife records on GBIF.org, threat status from the IUCN Red List, plant growth forms from Kew's World Checklist of Vascular Plants. Updated 17 Oct 2026.

How the lists workReal species, in a sensible order
Seen in the wild
Species that people really record most often come first: what you are likely to meet on a game drive or a walk.
Threatened
Endangered species move up the list, so the game can tell their story and missions can follow the work to save them.
Fits our reserves
Species that live in the reserves you can already explore come before those that need a new part of the world first.
Never made up
Every species on the lists is a real, living species with public records. Extinct species are left out.
Game missions are inspired by real conservation work. Naming an organisation does not mean it partners with or endorses Spoor or the Motsumi Conservation Fund.

Spoor is in development. The first park, Mabalingwe in South Africa, is being built now, and exploring the globe will always be free.
