Help buy supplies for C.A.R.E.
My Travel Story
PrimateCare: Centre for Animal Rehabilitation and Education is a non-profit organization founded in 1939 by Rita Miljo. C.A.R.E. is dedicated to the rescue, rehabilitation, and release of Chacma Baboons, in South Africa. Located in Phalaborwa, SA C.A.R.E. is currently run by Managing Director Stephen Munro, and Assistant Director Samantha Dewhirst, who work tirelessly to make sure that all of the baboons are looked after on a daily basis. C.A.R.E. takes in orphaned babies, and with the help of a temporary human surrogate, beings the process of integrating them to a new baboon mother, many of the orphans that come in are often traumatized from the act being orphaned, often by farmers poisoning the troop, being hunted for sport, or to be kept as a pet. Once these orphans are part of a troop, they being the rehabilitation phase and are on their way to FREEDOM!!!
C.A.R.E. is always in need of new supplies, as enclosures are cleaned daily to keep the baboons happy and healthy, they go through supplies QUICKLY! I am staring this fundraiser to help C.A.R.E. buy supplies that are needed for daily at C.A.R.E. anything from nappies, bottles, and teats for the orphans, to scrub brushes, buckets, brooms, and bleach for cleaning enclosures! The money will also go to helping provide enrichment for the Sanctuary baboons as well as the troops, and clinic patients! Enrichment is absolutely VITAL to the mental health of the baboons, as well as to teach natural foraging behaviors!
