Wildlife Conservation And Rescue Animals South Africa

$1,750 of $4,000 goal
Given by 27 generous donors in around 4 months

I am raising money for an operation involving the rescue and relocation of lions being illegally raised in captivity for canned hunting.

Bay of Plenty

I started off in South Africa as a volunteer at a wildlife sanctuary in July 2022. What was supposed to be a short working holiday quickly turned into a life changing experience. I since went back to South Africa to study with the Nature College and continue working in wildlife conservation. I have worked closely with orphaned elephants, rescue lions and wild animals such as cheetah, white rhino, buffalo, giraffe and many other species. I have now made it my life mission to assist in the conservation of African wildlife and wherever possible, assist in the war against poaching and canned hunting. I am planning on returning to South Africa very soon to continue my work with wildlife.

Money raised from this page will help to cover the transportation costs of rescued lions between the canned hunting facility in South Africa to their new safe and healthy home in Zimbabwe. The costs will help to cover equipment and vet checks, food and water during the rescue mission and fuel for the convoy transporting the lions. Finally money will be given to the sanctuary that will end up looking after these lions to support their ethical work in caring for them.

Use of funds

Money will be used for a short operation involving the rescue and relocation of lions. Any excess funds will go towards other ethical sanctuaries and wildlife conservation projects such as rescue and rehabilitation of orphaned rhinos. The money raised from the page is all going to the lion operation, I'm using my own savings for my personal expenses over there.

Use of funds  10 August 2023

The money raised from this page will go towards the rescue and relocation of lionesses currently being raised in a small enclosure at a canned hunting facility. Funds will go towards fuel for the convoy transporting the lions, food and water, vet checks and necessary equipment for darting and transporting the lions to their new safe and healthy home.

If funds are raised beyond the target amount, excess funds will go towards future wildlife operations and sanctuaries in South Africa to support the rescue and rehabilitation of injured or orphaned animals. The money raised from the page is all going to the lion operation, I'm using my own savings for my personal expenses over there.
