We have made incredible progress on installation of the new sewage system along with grey water filtration and recycling management, at the ADI Wildlife Sanctuary in South Africa.

Five new septic tanks are being installed alongside four ‘grey’ water filtration tanks and water storage tanks. Once fully installed, all grey water (from showers, sinks, etc.) will be filtered clean and recycled for flushing toilets, watering plants, firefighting etc.

This preserves our supplies of fresh drinking water for the humans, lions, tigers and other animals, whose home is the Sanctuary.

The horrific fires in Los Angeles have been a shocking reminder of the impact of climate change; the Sanctuary has just been through another drought during rainy season, with the first rains coming months later than normal.

Water security will be critical to the Sanctuary’s growth and capacity to save more animals. We will continue our efforts to make the Sanctuary self-sustaining (we are already solar powered) and reduce our environmental impact.

Huge thanks to everyone who has supported this vital project, with special thanks to Big Cat Rescue.
