Our three baby Dassies, Tilou, Lulu, and Buddha, are the three remaining Dassies of a group of eight. The others were released in the neighbouring bush area and the last three are still growing up here at DAKTARI before we can release them. They need food and care for the next year at our camp.
Because these Dassies were born in captivity and do not have a mother, they need to be raised at DAKTARI before they can be released. We need funding to feed the Dassies and maintain their camp.
All donations to this project will go to providing food for the baby Dassies and maintaining their enclosure until they are able to be released. In the meantime, the Dassies will provide a great learning experience for the children!
A positive and clean environment with healthy and cared-for animals serves to push our impact on the children, and consequently on the community. Likewise, through the education of the future generations of the area, we aim to make a lasting impact on the local wildlife.
