Animal conservation in Namibia

Species Conservation Project in Namibia
The reserve is nestled in the Namibian bush, just 45 km from Namibia's capital, Windhoek. Our local NGO has now grown into a world-renowned conservation organization. They provide shelter and a second chance to many injured, orphaned, or endangered animals.

The goal is to release animals back into the wild whenever possible. Only animals that are too sick or have become familiar remain in the sanctuary. The help of volunteers is essential to allow us to continue caring for these animals.

The Role of Interns and Volunteers
Volunteers have the wonderful opportunity to actively participate in the conservation, rehabilitation, care, and research of African wildlife. The sanctuary currently provides a safe haven for orphaned, injured, and endangered animals, including lions, leopards, cheetahs, wild dogs, caracals, warthogs, antelopes, and baboons, as well as numerous birds, small African mammals, and farm animals. The help of volunteers, who are committed to wildlife conservation, is essential in helping us care for animals in recovery or permanent residence at the sanctuary, and helps maintain and grow the sanctuary.

All missions are divided into groups using a rotation system to ensure that everyone can participate in the various experiences available.

Daily activities include:
• Preparing food and feeding the animals
• Cleaning enclosures
• Improving the animals' living conditions
• Caring for newborns
• Performing physical work such as building new facilities
• Conducting research (including monitoring free-roaming carnivores, analyzing cameras and GPS data).
