The South African Animal Sanctuary Alliance (SAASA) is a Public Benefit Organization (PBO 2000/000667/08) and a Non-Profit Organization (NPO 008-464), operating under Section 21 of the Companies Act. Our primary mission is to improve the lives of captive primates, birds, and other wildlife by relocating them to spacious, free-roaming sanctuaries that closely replicate their natural environments.
SAASA is also a strong advocate for the #HandsOffOurWildlife campaign, actively fighting for animal rights in tourism and - we oppose wildlife exploitation.
SAASA’s Role in Nature Conservation
- Species Preservation: SAASA plays a crucial role in protecting various species of wildlife. Our animals are housed in free-roaming habitats designed to resemble their natural ecosystems. We ensure that the animals in our care live in environments that mimic their wild homes.
- Forest Ownership for Wildlife: Through our flagship "Buy a Square Meter of Forest for the Monkeys" campaign, SAASA takes conservation to a new level by securing land specifically for the animals. This innovative project enables individuals to directly contribute to land ownership for the monkeys, ensuring that their forest remains permanently protected from human exploitation. By supporting this campaign, you help create a future where rescued primates have a safe, permanent home. We aim to expand this model to other species under our care as opportunities arise.
Vision
Our vision is to create a world where all wild animals live free from exploitation in sanctuaries that mimic their natural habitats, while inspiring global change towards ethical wildlife tourism and conservation.
Mission
SAASA is dedicated to rescuing, rehabilitating, and providing sanctuary for captive wildlife, including primates, birds, and apex predators. We strive to educate the public on the importance of conservation, combat the exploitation of wildlife in tourism, and protect genetically pure species. Through expansive, free-roaming habitats, we aim to provide animals with a life as close to the wild as possible, while promoting sustainable and responsible tourism.
