Project Report | Apr 29, 2025
Some four-legged friends left footprints

By Gerbie Mir | Chief Operating Officer

Tracking and Rehabilitation Update

Dear Valued Supporters,

Over the past few months, we have welcomed many visitors and friends to our project who left deeply imprinted footprints, and we are truly grateful for their presence and support.

Successful Rehabilitation & Relocations

Our beloved bushpig, Patat, and warthog, Squeak, brought immense joy and laughter to our team every day. However, as they grew, their camp could no longer accommodate them as they had ruffled through all the grasses and roots. We are thrilled to share that they have been relocated to a wonderful farm, where they can now roam freely in the bushveld with enough grass and roots to last them a lifetime. 

We recently received a civet named Zorro, rescued by a local farmer. After careful nursing him back to health, we successfully released him into the wild, where he is now thriving.

The two porcupines we conducted a soft release on continue to return each night for food, and they appear happy, healthy, and steadily growing.

Jasper, Tammy and Sage were successfully reunited with their owner.  It was an absolute pleasure caring for them for 12 months.  

Although we miss our furry friends dearly, we know that they are happy where they are currently.  They left their footprints on our hearts and we miss them dearly. 

Upcoming Rehabilitation Efforts

We eagerly await the arrival of three small duikers (a type of antelope), whose previous owner saved them from significant danger. We are currently preparing a dedicated camp for them, where we will assess their ability to be rehabilitated and eventually released back into their natural habitat.

Our ongoing challenge remains finding a suitable nature reserve for Duke and David, our two wild cheetahs. We are fully committed to continuing our search for the perfect environment where they can thrive.

We will keep you posted with any new arrivals and releases. 

Your continued support is essential to our mission of providing these animals with the best possible care and opportunities for survival in their natural habitats. Thank you for standing alongside us in this journey.

Warm regards
