Help Wildlife With Emergency Medical Treatment

Thanks to your generous support, our Wildlife Emergency Fund continues to play a vital role in keeping our wild grazers healthy during the challenging winter months. In the critically rare sand forest ecosystem we protect, natural grazing becomes limited in winter—especially for our zebras and wildebeest, who rely heavily on grass.

To support them, we maintain a small section of the Reserve as open grassland. However, to ensure optimal sustainability and animal health, we provide daily supplemental feed throughout winter. This includes fresh hay and nutrient-rich wildlife pellets, specially formulated to meet the dietary needs of wild grazers. These pellets contain a balanced mix of essential nutrients to help maintain energy, immunity, and reproductive health.

We're also excited to share that Dubie, our beloved zebra, might be expecting a spring foal! While it can be tricky to tell with zebras (a full belly doesn’t always mean a baby), we’re hopeful and watching her closely with great anticipation.

The good news continues—all the wild animals are in good health, and we've noticed a reduction in tick infestations this season. This often indicates strong immune systems, which speaks volumes about the effectiveness of your support and the health of our ecosystem.

From all of us here at Suni-Ridge, thank you for making it possible to protect our wildlife and their habitat. Together, we are ensuring that this precious biodiversity not only survives but thrives.
