A unique opportunity to have your name forever associated with the ADI Wildlife Sanctuary – a major animal protection project helping animals for years to come. Find out how you can become a founder here. We have naming rights available for major contributions and are delighted to have already received the following support:
Lion and tiger habitats
The ADI Wildlife Sanctuary has large natural habitats of 1-3 hectares/2.5-7.5 acres, giving the animals that we have rescued from tiny cages freedom to run and play and live in family groups. Each habitat has a brick house (some heated), which can be used for sleeping and hospitalization, and several platforms and shelters. The habitats are all supplied with natural water from our own wells using solar-powered pumps. Each tiger territory has a main lake and smaller pools. We are re-wilding the entire sanctuary and thanks to individual sponsorship and support from Trees for Tigers USA, we have a major planting program for indigenous trees.
