What we're about


Lion Stalking

Welcome to the website of THE CAMPAIGN AGAINST CANNED HUNTING and THE KOUGA WILDLIFE REHAB CENTRE & SANCTUARY

The Campaign Against Canned Hunting (CACH), is a registered Section 21 charity (2006/036885/08) and Public Benefit organisation. PBO number: 930030402
The overall aim of the organisation is to promote animal welfare but for practical and historic reasons, CACH focuses on the following issues:-

BAN TROPHY HUNTING

The mission is to get all trophy hunting banned in South Africa, since all trophy hunting in South Africa is canned to a greater or lesser extent. To that end, CACH has put together a comprehensive audio visual presentation which has been shown to thousands of people from all walks of life in South Africa, Kenya and U.K. Find out more about this issue.

BAN GIN TRAPS


The on going indiscriminate slaughter of wild animals by farmers acting in the belief that they are protecting their livestock is a major threat to wildlife. Non lethal alternatives are available and CACH has actively promoted the banning of gin traps and the abolition of the vermin laws in South Africa, both by legal proceedings all the way to the Constitutional Court, and by animal advocacy in the media. Find out more about this issue.

KOUGA WILDLIFE REHABILITATION CENTRE & SANCTUARY

The Kouga Wildlife Rehabilitation Centre (KWRC)is a project of CACH and its aim is to work hands on with orphaned and injured wild animals at the sanctuary in the Kouga Mountains. Forming part of the vast Baviaanskloof Mega Reserve, which stretches from Addo Elephant Park near Port Elizabeth to the Tsitsikama Forest in the east, the centre is ideally situated to release all endemic species back to the wild on its own door step.
