Summary

Save 250 endangered animals from trafficking and death in Katsina, Nigeria.

We nurse these victims back to health and release them into protected reserves. Your support halts biodiversity loss and funds the only dedicated wildlife rescue team operating in this fragile Sahel region.

Challenge

In Northern Nigeria, illegal wildlife trade and rapid desertification are decimated native species. Poachers trap animals in suffocating cages, leaving them starved, injured, and traumatized. Currently, Katsina lacks any specialized facility to treat these wildlife emergencies. Without immediate intervention, these 250 targeted animals face certain death from infection, stress, or the bushmeat trade. We must act now to prevent local extinction.

Solution

We are the lifeline for 250 animals: we rescue, rehabilitate, and release. Our team conducts emergency confiscations and provides critical veterinary care, including surgery and vaccinations. Rescued animals are placed in safe, species-specific recovery zones to regain their wild instincts. Once healthy, we release them into protected habitats. We also train local communities to report wildlife crime, turning former poaching hotspots into safe zones.

Long-Term Impact

This project restores the ecological balance of the Sahel by returning 250 pollinators and seed dispersers to the wild. Beyond saving individual lives, we are dismantling the cycle of abuse. By educating local youth and proving that wildlife is valuable alive, we are building a permanent culture of conservation. Your donation doesn't just save an animal today; it secures a future where Nigeria's wildlife thrives in freedom, not fear.
