What connects them both is the **support** they get from **people** like you and the **belief** inspired by **nature**.   Imagine our proud rugby team without the iconic **springbok** or the cricket side without the resilient **protea**? Nature is the secret ingredient that powers our teams to be better. Let’s raise a cheer to that!  [![Springbok preview_Landing page WW1251933 copy](https://explore.wwf.org.za/hs-fs/hubfs/Springbok%20preview_Landing%20page%20WW1251933%20copy.jpg?width=500&height=333&name=Springbok%20preview_Landing%20page%20WW1251933%20copy.jpg "Springbok preview_Landing page WW1251933 copy")](https://explore.wwf.org.za/hubfs/SpringbokPC.png?hsLang=en-za) **Are you a Bok fan who loves nature?**  Show your support by downloading our nature-inspired wallpaper.  [Mobile](https://explore.wwf.org.za/hubfs/SpringbokMobile.png?hsLang=en-za) [Desktop](https://explore.wwf.org.za/hubfs/SpringbokPC.png?hsLang=en-za) [![Protea preview_Landing page _Original_WW185990 copy](https://explore.wwf.org.za/hs-fs/hubfs/Protea%20preview_Landing%20page%20_Original_WW185990%20copy.jpg?width=500&height=333&name=Protea%20preview_Landing%20page%20_Original_WW185990%20copy.jpg "Protea preview_Landing page _Original_WW185990 copy")](https://explore.wwf.org.za/hubfs/ProteaPC.png?hsLang=en-za) **Do you have a fiery passion for the Proteas? **   Show your support by downloading our nature-inspired wallpaper.  [Mobile](https://explore.wwf.org.za/hubfs/ProteaMobile.png?hsLang=en-za) [Desktop](https://explore.wwf.org.za/hubfs/ProteaPC.png?hsLang=en-za) # Join our movement Subscribe to WWF and receive regular updates.  ![WWF](https://d1diae5goewto1.cloudfront.net/_skins/capetown/img/logo.png) A future in which people and nature thrive.
