Once again we’ve spent most of the year in Africa looking for people who save African wildlife. Thanks to your donations we’ve been able to help many more. 2016 turned out to be a banner year!

Earlier this year Baye from Free to be Wild reached out for help to save two Serval cats. Here’s what we did. She lays her ears back and snarls. Ferocious!

Nikela is on a mission of helping people saving wildlife in Africa. “Your flight is cancelled!” Said the attendant as we stepped up to the check in counter. Not something you want to hear when this is the only daily flight from the Washington DC Dulles airport to Johannesburg South Africa. After 22 hours, of being rerouted to Amsterdam in the Netherlands, arriving too late in Johannesburg to be picked up by our friend Sheila Upton Bath with Dance to be Wild, spending the night in a hotel, catching the train the next morning, we finally make it to pick…
