As the only wildlife rescue centre in the Western Cape, providing critical care for injured, orphaned, and displaced wildlife in the Overstrand. Focused on indigenous species, they rescue, rehabilitate, and release animals while promoting conservation awareness. Your support funds medical care, nutrition, and enclosures, giving wildlife a second chance.
The growing problem of human encroachment into this pristine biosphere often leads to unintentional veld fires, causing massive devastation to the biodiversity of the area. Wildlife, unable to escape the flames, are left burnt and injured. This rescue facility is the only one of its kind in the Western Cape and provides a way for these animals to receive urgent treatment. Cases also include wildlife impacted by rampant development, intentional poisoning, hit by cars, and illegal snares.
The goal of this facility is to provide various training programs aimed at improving the standards of rescue and rehabilitation to ensure that wildlife receives the best possible care after an incident. Wildlife patients will be treated according to internationally accepted protocols with the aim of releasing healthy animals back into the wild. In addition, training in fire management, school outreach programs and community education will aim to mitigate further damage to the environment.
This centre is the key to long-term conservation in the Western Cape. As the region's only facility, it rescues and rehabilitates wildlife, helping stabilize populations and protect biodiversity. By reducing human-wildlife conflict and promoting education, it fosters coexistence and inspires future conservationists. With continued support, the centre can serve as a model for wildlife rescue and ecological stewardship in South Africa.
