Panthera Africa is an environmentally friendly sanctuary for any captive-bred big cats, where they will be protected and prosper for the rest of their lives. One of Panthera Africa's main purposes is to be an educational platform where we create awareness about conditions big cats face in captivity, and how animal welfare and enrichment play a vital role in giving them the best captive life possible. Panthera Africa believes in the connection between both environmental and wildlife conservation, and aims to become the first "green" big cat sanctuary in South Africa and run solely on solar energy.
