WHY ARE WE BUYING 1,500 CABBAGES?

This month we bought 1,500 cabbages and paid for trucks to bring in a massive amount of hay to feed wildlife along the Turgwe River in Zimbabwe where a regional drought, worsened by the El Nino weather phenomenon, has depleted water supplies and killed vast areas of vegetation. The UN has warned of the bleak outlook in this region and the catastrophic impact on all forms of life.

“I will not give in and somehow will do it,” said a nervous Karen Paolillo who runs the Turgwe Hippo Trust wildlife protection charity.

During a previous massive drought, Karen and her husband Jean-Roger engineered the creation of a large man-made lake that has become the primary water supply for hippos, elephants, baboons, lions and many other species of wildlife in the area.

Mainly at night (trail camera photos below), the animals visit various spots where Karen’s team have laid out hay, cabbages, horses cubes and other emergency rations.

Trucking in food has been the only way to prevent a mass extinction this time around. Significant funds are needed to bring in more food in a week’s time. We are asking all of you to please consider making a donation to help us in this wildlife rescue mission. Donations today will automatically go to help in the drought unless otherwise stipulated. Thank you all.

Animal Rescue Chase

The Great Animal Rescue Chase celebrates the art of animal rescue with a worldwide race to rescue one million. It’s a free event, open to all, and is perhaps the only global animal rescue event aimed at helping any animal in distress, anywhere in the world. Our ambition is to create a culture of enthusiasm and pride in animal activism. We believe in teaching, by example, that there is a hero in each of us just waiting to be unleashed. Empowered animal lovers can not only save lives, but build the momentum for powerful animal welfare reform.
