What We Stand For

Mission Statement:

To assist and support wildlife by providing shelter and care for injured and/or orphaned wildlife, rehabilitating such wildlife, providing public education and collecting and publishing research data.

Philosophy:

In today’s world our wildlife faces ever increasing challenges in their daily quest for survival as they share the space with humans.The immediate and obvious threats arise from death or injury due to such things as cars, trains, barb wire fencing and poaching.Furthermore, the continuous loss of habitant, ignorance of wildlife needs, public reactions and resulting government actions plus a general lack of data to assist in the creation of rules and laws that secure wildlife survival, pose a monumental hurdle in the quest to provide living space for wild animals.

Through providing shelter, feed and medical care we can help injured and/or orphaned wildlife until they can be rehabilitated in their natural habitant.Not only does this supply a moral solution to the question of : “what to do with such animals”, but it also offers an excellent opportunity for educating and involving the public and hence creating a better understanding and respect for the animals we live with.

The careful collection of scientific data and its availability to all interested parties ensures better knowledge and provides a platform for future projects and studies.
