Safari through Zimbabwe 2022

Click on the photos below to find out more about the Hennig couple's trip to Zimbabwe's animal conservation projects.

We are very proud that, unlike other animal welfare organisations, we work with almost no additional costs. The donated money thus flows practically without loss into the projects we have chosen to protect the animals. Of course, this includes the fact that we also financed this trip completely out of our own pockets and not from donations. Our donors know that we take great care to ensure that the money does not flow into other people's pockets through corruption. This spurs them on again and again to make new, urgently needed donations.

 Why yet another conservation society?

Click on the following images to find out more about the NGO and current projects they are involved in.

There are already well-established and experienced conservation non-governmental organizations (NGOs) such as WWF Germany, IFAW Germany, ZGF (Frankfurt Zoological Society), Rettet den Regenwald (Save the Rain Forest), LBV (Regional Society for Protection of Birds) and many more which will continue to receive our support. Why then yet another conservation association?

Firstly, we are a small nature conservation society, a speedboat amongst the fleet of big tankers, so to speak. The board, which is entirely made up of members that work on a voluntary and avocational basis, monitor cash flow and funding until implementation of the projects is complete.
Secondly, within the scope of our possibilities we can swiftly and effectively respond to challenges without being hampered by the otherwise inevitable red tape, a fact which in particular benefits our partner organisations and fellow conservationists in Africa whose work we support.

Our financial resources will be employed in the most economical and effective manner possible to achieve the above-stated objectives of our society.
