Overview
Volunteer program: ADI Wildlife Sanctuary in South Africa
Working to end the suffering of animals in captivity and protect wild animals and their environments, Animal Defenders International collaborates with governments to conduct large-scale seizures of captive wild animals, relocating them to forever homes and back to their natural habitats where possible.
The ADI Wildlife Sanctuary has been established to provide a permanent home to rescued animals from entertainment, wildlife trade and exploitation. The life experiences of these animals teach understanding of animals and wildlife preservation.
Help care for our rescued animals
Through our volunteer program you can help the ADI Wildlife Sanctuary teams with the day-to-day care of our animals. The work will include assisting with feeding, cleaning enclosures, enrichment, and general maintenance tasks as instructed.
