Conservation Statement 
“We need to educate the families that live amongst our wildlife about the need for conservation of our animals. To give these people the pre-requisites, tools and education to live cohesively and safely with our wildlife. We must desist slaughtering our beautiful creatures for clothing, beauty products, adornments, health potions etc"
