We rescued Harriette a few weeks ago and have since paired her with Lucky. Before they met, Harriette would scream and scream until someone came to check on her. She would then try to grab us through her enclosure. Now that she is with Lucky, she is a lot quieter…
2018 was a big year for WFFT. We rescued 4 elephants, hundreds of wildlife, released hundreds more, built new enclosures for our orangutans and macaques, and secured 13 acres for future projects. We couldn’t have done any of this without our donors, sponsors, volunteers, guests, and dedicated staff. Thank you…
WFFT hosts vibrant volunteers from all over the world! Last week, we met Ngaire who brought some fresh ideas for enrichments which we gave our elephants, orangutans, and bears. Our volunteers took burlap sacks and stuffed them with honey glazed hay and bamboo segments filled with peanuts, pellets, and leaves.…
Calum Currie, a recent WFFT lodge guest and visual artist, made a video for us that beautifully captures the spirit of WFFT! If you can't stay for a week+ as a volunteer, this is what you may see on one of our guided tours or eco-lodge stays. https://youtu.be/C_G8CgnZkzk
These highlights include the emergency rescue of a gorgeous white-thighed langur, an injured pregnant macaque, the repair of a fractured turtle shell, elephant wound care, bears feasting on honeycombs, and silly hospital infants. Enjoy! https://youtu.be/E5hghsiekis
This is how much produce it takes to feed 600+ animals every 4 days! We buy human grade fruits and greens from a local farmer's market and provide a diverse range of flavors and balanced diets to all in our care. Check out our volunteers unloading the foodtruck! https://youtu.be/leXhb2E9P4A
Live a wild life! We are in need of wildlife volunteers for the next few months so please come out, give us a hand, and tell your friends about us! https://youtu.be/5FhKZJQK9IQ
We are eternally grateful to our many dedicated volunteers who help us keep WFFT running smoothly. Check out our volunteers clearing a large bear enclosure, usually home to 6 sun and 2 Asiatic black bears. Our enrichment team also set up a new hammock for them. We had a good…
Rescuing, caring, offering medical support, feeding and of course cleaning are part of the WFFT everyday life. Our volunteers are always happy to contribute to this mission. An appropriate and clean environment is as essential for the well-being of our residents as appropriate food or care! Recently the Centre's Baby…
The lakes in our Project 4 elephant enclosures often become too overgrown with plants so we clear it on a monthly basis. In this particular case, we focused on the lake around a new gibbon island where a family of four endangered white handed gibbons were recently relocated. Because gibbons…
The least we can say is that our bears are more than bearly gourmets ! Our Wildlife Staff and volunteers know this ! Each day, in addition to their regular food, they have enrichments, like all the rescued animals of the WFFT center. Here to stimulated them and encourage their…
All our animals deserve the best: clean and appropriate enclosures, species specific food , medical care , stimulating enrichment and the care and love of our volunteers and staff. So this week our brave and committed Wildlife & Elephant Refuge volunteers and staff treated the female Potbellied Pigs to a…
Without our volunteers WFFT would have to find outside help to care for all the animals we rescue. 100's of fresh meals are prepared every single day by our dedicated hard working volunteers. Be part of the action, take a look here www.wildlifevolunteer.org.
Here at WFFT we have around 600 animals made up of about 40 species. Because of this we need to make sure each lock and key are easy to find and organised. Meaning our locks must be beautifully painted by our volunteers.
The WFFT Wildlife rescue centre provides refuge for over 600 animals including 6 species of gibbons, 6 species of macaques, lorises, 2 species of bear, small and larger wild cats, civets, crocodiles, birds... All the volunteers have the daunting task, supervised and helped by our dedicated team of professionals, to…
