Make A Difference

South Africa’s wildlife need you, and there are lots of ways you can help!

Help Make a Difference to Wildlife

The goal of wildlife rehabilitation is to restore wild animals to health and release them back into their natural habitats. It takes incredible efforts from many invested people to reach that goal. From the individual who cared enough to stop and find help for an injured wild animal, to volunteer transporters, licensed wildlife rehabilitators, veterinarians who provide medical assistance, and more – it truly “takes a village” to help a wild animal in need. With your help we can:

  • Rescue wild animals in need
  • Release animals back into the wild
  • Tackle wildlife crime
  • Educate the next generation of conservationists

We cannot accomplish our goals without the help of supporters like you! If you’d like to contribute to our efforts, whether it be to rescue a sick/injured or orphaned animal, report a wildlife crime, or donate to support our work in caring for South Africa’s wildlife, we want to hear from you.

Poaching

Poaching

Poaching is the illegal hunting, capturing, and often killing of wild animals. It is the largest direct threat to the future of many of the world’s most threatened species, second only to habitat destruction in overall threats against species survival.
