AFRICAT’S NEW CASE FOR SUPPORT watch this space . . .

THE NEW STRUCTURE
AfriCat Welfare and AfriCat Conservation

Two sister foundations AfriCat and Afri-Leo have, over the recent years, moved closer together. This will continue to be the case in the future.

The current AfriCat, based at farm Okonjima and hereafter termed AfriCat Welfare, will continue to focus on welfare, rehabilitation, farmer-carnivore conflict, youth education, evaluation of the Cheetah and Leopard rescue and release programme, and the very exciting new game and rehabilitation camp, which will be completed by the end of 2009.

The current Afri-Leo, hereafter termed AfriCat Conservation, was co-founded in 1997 by Tammy, the eldest Hanssen sibling and her husband Uwe.  AfriCat Conservation  is based at farm Kaross, now a game ranch which borders the western Etosha National Park and is ideally situated to take on the full role of Human-Wildlife Conflict mitigation on the communal farmlands of the northwest, as well as on farmland surrounding Etosha. This centre is currently involved in Environmental Education for the youth as well as communal farmer support and aims to become an integral part of the communal conservancy phenomena.

More information will follow once the CASE FOR SUPPORT has been approved by ALL AfriCat Namibia and AfriCat UK members.
