A young Zoologist on a rescue mission to relocate 2 lionesses & giving companionship to Zulu the lonely lion.
Auckland
My name is Sineah, I am fundraising money to join a team of volunteers on a rescue mission to save lions held in a breeding/ hunting facility in South Africa! I will be embarking on this journey in November 2023 and will have just completed my BS in Zoology! I have been working hard the last 3 years to be able to work alongside large carnivores in Africa and help protect their population. My passion is African wildlife and I would love for your support if you can
Project Overview:
Zulu is a male lion who has been living alone in a sanctuary in Zimbabwe. He was brought up from a cub with epilepsy and could not be raised with other lions for fear of being killed during a seizure, he was raised with a canine companion who recently passed, leaving him very loney. Thanks to a daring rescue mission organised by our partner at the Lion Sanctuary, we will be rescuing two young lionesses from the canned hunting trade in SA & relocating them to be with Zulu in Zimbabwe. This journey will span over 2,000 km.
The project aims to provide Zulu with the companionship he needs, forming a new pride with two new lionesses, which have been rescue from the cruel canned hunting trade. This project offers a unique opportunity for experienced volunteers to assist in a once in a lifetime experience. A film crew is scheduled to document the incredible journey of Zulu and his new companion and will hopefully be aired in the future.
Thank you for reading :)
This money raised will be spent on my portion of the project which covers my flights, insurance and the project payment which contributes to the overall cost of the project including vet bills, petrol, and medication for the lions
