CROW – Centre For Rehabilitation of Wildlife

Who We Are

Founded over 30 years ago, CROW (Centre for Rehabilitation of Wildlife) was one of South Africa’s first dedicated wildlife rehabilitation centres. Today, CROW is still Durban’s only registered wildlife rehabilitation centre dedicated to the rescue, rehabilitation and release of all indigenous wildlife found in KwaZulu-Natal.

Run by a small, yet highly dedicated and experienced team of staff and volunteers, CROW assists over 3000 orphaned, injured and displaced animals every year. From mongoose, genets and monkeys to birds, reptiles and antelope, CROW represents a second chance at a free, safe and sustainable life for all wild animals in distress.

As a registered non-profit organisation, CROW relies solely on the support and goodwill of the public both locally and internationally to ensure the doors to its centre remain open 365 days a year.

Volunteer at CROW
Since its inception, volunteers have been an integral part of our organisation. Feeding and caring for 300-400 animals on a daily basis is no small task, which is why CROW welcomes the skills, experience and enthusiasm of both local and international volunteers at its centre.

Local Volunteers
Volunteering is a great way to give back to your community, meet new friends and learn new skills! Local volunteers are always very welcome here at CROW, regardless of if you’re looking to volunteer with us regularly or as part of a once-off work experience placement or event.

International Volunteers
CROW is proud to welcome international volunteers to our centre throughout the year. The team at CROW is continually in awe of the many caring individuals from around the world who give up their time and leave their homes and families in order to come help us care for our injured, orphaned and displaced wildlife.
