Food prep at the Namibia Wildlife Sanctuary - for

Food prep at the Namibia Wildlife Sanctuary - for some reason this dirty, messy and smelly task is a firm favourite with all our volunteers! Perhaps its something to do with the loves you get from the animals after 💙🐒

Monkeys and baboons are not good pets. Many of the primates rescued at the sanctuary have been rescued from owners who no longer want them cannot cope with their destructive tendencies and boundless energy. Once animals no longer fear humans they can never be released, so these guys have found their forever home in the beautiful Namibian bush, being served by willing volunteers.

"The sea once it casts its spell, holds one in its net of wonder forever." - Jacques Costeau

The underwater world is in as much need of preservation as the land, with many iconic marine species declining at an alarming rate. Whales, dolphins, sea turtles, sharks and many fish species are all amongst the most endangered of marine wildlife and the consequences of loss of species in the marine environment are equally, if not more significant than land-based animals.

Threats to marine species are varied and often difficult to see, difficult to measure, and difficult to address. You can get involved in marine conservation in one of Africa's, if not the world's finest diving destinations, home to a rich variety of marine wildlife including manta rays, whale sharks, dolphins and sea turtles.

Mozambique is open to tourism with low Covid rates and no quarantine for entry!

Meet Tim and Sarah (yes really!) two lions in Nami

Meet Tim and Sarah (yes really!) two lions in Namibia who were rescued from almost certain death in 2020 and given a second chance. They are imminently due to be translocated to the the Carnivore Conservation research site in Omaruru, an 25,000 hectare protected area in the western part of Namibia.

The research site, already home to cheetah, leopard and brown hyaena, is open for volunteers who want to experience an enormous wilderness area, home to translocated conflict animals. It is 'the place of second chances'.

🐒 Meet Aku, a vervet monkey who was recently rescued in Zimbabwe. He had been kept chained up as a pet for the last 3 years before being rescued by National Parks and brought to our sanctuary. Sadly, having had no contact with other monkeys, when he arrived he really had no idea how to be a monkey. He was placed near to a troop of 6 vervet monkeys to integrate, but his adjustment, as expected is taking a while. Aku is totally humanised (which is not a good thing) and has no natural social ability to interact with other monkeys. They have identified him as a weaker link and he gets picked on.

🚨 *Monkeys do not make good pets*, and Aku is the perfect example of why it is so vital that primates need to be kept with their own species, in the wild. However, working with animals in these situations is vital. Humans are all Aku knows, and although he lives in an enclosure next to the troop he is getting to know, he still needs social contact and grooming to keep him happy and healthy. The sanctuary staff and volunteers are helping to teach Aku how to be a monkey, so he can one day be a part of his own troop.

It is so common to see dog collars, leashes and harnesses used on primates by people keeping them as pets, and the sanctuary has numerous rescues come in where the only life the monkey or baboon has known is the one at the end of a chain 😥.

We know that his rehabilitation will come and hope that one day he will be released into a safe area to live freely in the wild!
