"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)
With help from all over the globe we save South Africa's wild animals 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!
