In August 2018, ADI purchased 455-acres of land in South Africa and began turning it into a sanctuary with large natural habitats. It is now home to lions and tigers rescued as ADI emptied circuses in Peru, Colombia and Guatemala (and one huge lion, Kesari, who we ensured dodged a hunter’s bullet). We think these pictures of our residents taken in the past few weeks best sum up the world we have created for these survivors. Our mission is to keep emptying the cages and to give these animals a life as close to what nature intended.
