They were established in 1997 with the aim of educating the public in order to promote an awareness of the endangered raptor species. They target schools in an educational drive and have many schools attending the centre for that purpose.
By creating this awareness, they want to stop the persecution of these beautiful birds which is a world wide problem. The raptors are killed by vehicles, fences, traps, power lines poisons and their chicks are also removed illegally from nesting sites.
At the centre and with the help of a local vet who has experience in handling raptors, they are privileged to help dozens of these casualties each year.
The captive birds fall into three categories:
- mechanically damaged leaving them with permanent physical damage so they can’t be returned to the wild to fend for themselves.
- mentally damaged -imprinted – where they have been removed from the wild as chicks – they can’t be returned to the wild as they can’t recognise their own species
- captive bred birds
Over the years, Dullstroom Bird Of Prey and Rehabilitation Centre have been quite successful in their rehabilitation programme and to get a bird back into the wild is their ultimate goal. A visit to their website will give you more information on their release back into the wild.

Wildlife is in crisis everywhere as development consumes thousands of hectares where they would normally be roaming free. FreeMe is a rehabilitation centre for indigenous wildlife. It was founded in 1997 by a group of trained rehabilitators who realised that there was not enough organised care for suburban indigenous wildlife. They -
- rescue, rehabilitate and release indigenous wildlife onto carefully chosen reserves and conservancies;
- educate the public through the use of lectures, newsletters, advertising, support and advice.
Each year thousand of birds, mammals and reptiles become orphaned, sick or suffer injuries, and most veterinarians do not have facilities to cater for wildlife.The public can bring wildlife to FreeMe for specialised treatment, care and rehabilitation until they can be released.
The centre is open seven days a week from 8am to 5pm. FreeMe relies on members of the public to bring compromised animals to the centre, and for notification if there are wild animals in distress. In emergencies such as oil-spills volunteers may travel to a locality to rescue and assist wildlife.
FreeMe is run by a full-time manager and a dedicated group of volunteers. With the help of local veterinarians they provide specialised treatment, care and rehabilitation; the ultimate aim being to release wildlife back into its natural habitat.

Established in 2001, The Cape Centre for the Rehabilitation of Wildlife (Cape C.R.O.W.) contributes to nature conservation by offering time, space and motivation to help preserve indigenous fauna and to rescue and rehabilitate injured, abandoned, or traumatised animals with the purpose of re-introducing them into the natural environment.
Be it injured or orphaned birds like the Spotted Eagle Owls, Kestrels, Blue Cranes, Herons, Barn Owls, tortoises, small buck, Cape clawless otters, meerkat and a Bat-eared Fox, all receive loving care until they are ready for release.
The guardians of the project, Peter and Nola Frazer, have a background in Pharmacy and Homoeopathy, and a sincere love for animals.The rehabilitation centre is not operated for commercial gain.
Rehabilitation of wild animals into their natural environment offers a humane option of dealing with injured, orphaned, or confiscated animals and has the potential of adding to our human knowledge of the species.
