CARE Baboon Sanctuary & Rehabilitation Centre

"Why wait until a species is on the brink of extinction before we try to help?"

Rita Miljo, Founder of C.A.R.E. 1931-2012 (The Centre for Animal Rehabilitation & Education)

Stolen from the wild... our aim is to put him back where he belongs, because like you, he matters.

Orphan Sunny held tightly to his mother as a farmer illegally killed her. After tearing him from her corpse where he clung to her once comforting hair he was given away as a pet; it is illegal to keep baboons as pets in South Africa. He was scared and confused and when the people that held him captive.

Thanks to our team and our support networks we were able to rescue him. Sunny is a baboon orphan now safe in a rehabilitation for release program here at C.A.R.E.

You can help us to help Sunny and all those like him.

Sunny is one of many. With help from all over the globe we saved Sunny and seek to help all those in need. Baboon habitats are declining and their populations too. You can join us, you can help, you can make a difference. Rescue, rehabilitate, release and save baboons, indigenous wildlife and their habitats.

Education & Solution Focused

Educating locals & striving to find solution to wildlife conflicts

As human population increases wildlife habitat is declining.

We are committed to educating local people & tourists and helping them co-exist with wildlife, appreciate wildlife & want to protect wildlife for future generations.

We are partnered with many schools in the surrounding areas providing educational trips to the centre and regularly give talks too.

We try hard to regularly have exhibition stalls in our local area and overseas, provide information and advice for lodges and farmers and hope to promote empathy, understanding and compassion for baboons.

We love collaborating with other conservation and animal welfare organisations!
