At the heart of the wildlife rehabilitation centre will be the protection of our planet’s most vulnerable creatures — those small to medium-sized species who often go unnoticed but whose survival is critical to the balance of nature.

SMALL PREDATORS
The centre will open its arms to small predators like servals, caracals, jackals, genets, mongooses, bush babies, and otters — who each play an irreplaceable role in their ecosystems.

ANTELOPE AND GAME
We will provide a second chance for antelope and game species, including zebra, wildebeest, kudu, and bushbuck. Other remarkable species, like bushpig, warthog, aardvark and scrub hare will be offered care, alongside the extraordinarily rare pangolin — the world’s most trafficked animal.

BIRDS
Majestic birds like vultures, eagles, and owls will be treated at the centre, as will ground hornbills, marabou storks, herons, ibis’, and bustards.

REPTILES
Many species in our region, like the leopard tortoise, hinged tortoise, Nile crocodile, and Southern African pythons face immense threats in the wild. Even the smaller, more delicate species like chameleons are declining due to the illegal wildlife trade.
