Real conservation. Not a tourist attraction.
Sometimes, you may get to stand where conservation actually happens.
From time to time, members may be invited to observe or, where appropriate, take part in genuine wildlife conservation, rescue or relocation operations undertaken or supported by Free The Wild and its partners. These are real missions. Participation can never be guaranteed and always depends on animal welfare, professional supervision, operational requirements, safety and prevailing conditions.
