#doDifferent by Caring for Our Wildlife

South Africa, a land of breathtaking landscapes and diverse wildlife, is home to a rich tapestry of species. From the majestic lions of the Kruger National Park to the playful penguins of Cape Town, the country's fauna is a testament to its natural beauty. However, many of these creatures face significant threats, including habitat loss, poaching, and human-wildlife conflict. That's where organisations like Johannesburg Wildlife Vet (JWV) step in to make a difference, to protect these precious animals and ensure their survival for future generations.

Johannesburg Wildlife Vet (JWV) is a beacon of hope for wildlife in South Africa. This non-profit wildlife hospital provides critical care for injured and orphaned animals. They provide comprehensive care for a wide variety of wildlife, including birds, small mammals, and reptiles. Their team of experienced veterinarians and veterinary technicians are dedicated to giving these animals a second chance. 

Their dedication to wildlife rehabilitation is truly inspiring, and they rely on the community's support to continue their vital work.

They offer people a variety of ways to get involved, from becoming a sponsor or donate items, plants or bugs. Become a sponsor and help to cover the costs of caring for a specific species of animal. Your sponsorship will help to provide food, housing, and medical care for these animals.

One of the ways JWV makes a difference is through their #OneMeal initiative. This innovative program allows you to donate the cost of a meal for one of the animals in their care. Every contribution, no matter how big or small, helps to ensure that these animals receive the food and medical attention they need to recover and return to the wild.

JWV's online store offers a variety of merchandise that you can purchase to show your support. From t-shirts and caps to water bottles and tote bags, there's something for everyone. By supporting their work, you can help to ensure that South Africa’s wildlife has a fighting chance.
