Over 500 monkeys live free doing what monkeys do because of Silke. This wildlife hero wants nothing more for her upcoming 50th birthday than for you to donate to celebrate. How about $5? A dollar for every decade. Or if you think that’s too little how about $50? That’s a mere $10 for every decade lived. About 30 tiny orphaned pink faces arrive at the center every spring. Some are half starved, others injured. All are traumatized by losing their mommies. Silke and her team nurture them back to health and give them new families. Nikela arrived with head trauma…

“… new orphan Number 20, little baby boy of 6-weeks old arrived…” “… wild baby born to Mabizala was finally released…” “… Nevada is improving slowly…” “… author, photographer, film maker, co-founder of 50/50, visited overnight…” “… intro to new Mkela troop is on-going…” “… Thandi was brought back into quarantine…” I get dizzy just reading the monthly newsletter from this busy primate rehabilitation center! If you donate to assist Silke and her rescue rehab center and ever wondered where the money goes… you must read Bambelela’s March 2018 Newsletter. Silke and her team are rescuing orphaned monkeys. Treating sick…

On the road to freedom. The journey begins at Bambelela for another group of orphaned and rescued monkeys. Each year about 30 orphaned baby monkeys arrive at Bambelela, a wildlife rescue and rehabilitation center nestled in the beautiful Waterberg mountains in South Africa. These tiny monkeys (Silke and her team call them ‘pink faces’) arrive traumatized and frequently injured. Silke and her team nurture them with great care until they are ready to be introduced to a new family. Each year numerous confiscated monkeys, generally kept as pets also arrive. These habituated or imprinted ‘living toys’ must learn to be…

They’re run by small, tight teams, or even totally solo! It’s in these inconspicuous NGOs where we find remarkable individuals like our five wildlife heroes to follow and help in 2018. These men and women don’t seek the limelight. They simply go quietly about their work saving wildlife, one animal at a time. Their work is hard. Their challenges constant. Their hearts humongous. And their effectiveness amazing. Sadly some don’t survive! They reluctantly turn in their bush khakis for business pants to put food on the table. They pull away for a season to preserve their own sanity. A few…

Each year we let you know the impact you’ve made. Here’s what happened with your help to save African Wildlife in 2017. What a year it’s been! There’s sad news and good news. The Sad Realities Rhino, elephant and the highly endangered pangolin continue to be lost to poachers. Just recently Moses hurried across the border from Uganda into the DRC. He’d been notified by an informant that a pangolin was being offered for sale. Sadly this time he was too late. Some little orphans that arrive at Silke’s wildlife center don’t make it. Izak is heart broken when yet…
