World Civet Day: Healthy civets, healthy planet!

Civets are often overlooked because they are relatively easy to find. Yet, this is exactly what makes their role so important.

We help protect the Civets in the Cikananga Area

They are highly adaptable, living in a wide range of habitats from forests to areas close to human settlements, while carrying out essential ecological functions such as seed dispersal and regulating small animal populations.

Although currently classified as Least Concern, their population is showing a declining trend due to pressures such as hunting and wildlife trade, as they are for example used in the "special" coffee industry, where they suffer in small cages, bad food, and are robbed from their freedom.

Protecting civets is not just about one species, but about maintaining the balance of ecosystems that we all depend on. So, healthy civets, healthy planet. In the Cikananga Area we have created wildlife bridges and develop varied vegitation and protected the direct area. If you want to help us support these incredible animals, please contact us.
