Animal Welfare Volunteer Program in Namibia

For the sustainability of our project work in the area of animal and wildlife protection, we choose partners locally with care. You will not find any projects in which you can raise big cats with the bottle or stroke rhinos. The preservation of biodiversity is our focus in all animal protection and wildlife projects. It is therefore important to us that wild animals remain free and wild and, if not absolutely necessary, contact with humans is avoided. Animals that are used to humans can usually no longer be released into the wild or released into the wild. Or worse, they are sold as trophies for hunting safaris.
