Mission Statement
Our mission is to provide world-class care for retired, rescued, surrendered, injured and orphaned wildlife.
Zambi Wildlife Foundation exists to improve the welfare for all animals, both here in Australia and internationally.
One of our primary objectives is to provide education by raising awareness for the plight of endangered species.
The Zambi Wildlife Foundation was established in 2020 with the primary goal of becoming a global leader in wildlife conservation and setting a new benchmark for animal welfare organisations internationally.
The Zambi Wildlife Foundation represents the exciting evolution of the Zambi Wildlife Retreat, a retirement sanctuary for animals from the circus and entertainment industry, zoo breeding programs and private ownership, set up in 2012. The foundations namesake, Zambi, was the first lion cub raised at the retreat after it was rejected by its mother.
In 2020 Zambi merged with an iconic native wildlife sanctuary the Kangaroo Protection Co-operative, to create the Zambi Native Wildlife Sanctuary.
Today, the Zambi name is synonymous with animal welfare and has become a conservation movement. With the Zambi Wildlife Foundation representing the broader scope of the activities of the organisation, lasting positive impacts for wildlife around the world will be far reaching.

The Zambi Wildlife Foundation has three primary components to its operation:
Zambi Wildlife Retreat
The Zambi Wildlife Retreat is the only facility of its kind in Australia, a resort style retirement sanctuary for animals from the circus and entertainment industry, zoo breeding programs and private ownership.
The Zambi Wildlife Retreat specialises in providing enriching habitats for big cats, primates and other exotic species, as well as domestic and farm animals requiring a forever home.
Zambi Native Wildlife Sanctuary
The Zambi Native Wildlife Sanctuary, is a facility dedicated to the protection and rehabilitation of injured and orphaned Australian native animals. The primary goal of the sanctuary is to release animals back into protected habitats. The sanctuary also provides a forever home for native animals that are unable to be released due to their injuries. The Zambi Native Wildlife Sanctuary is also an educational hub conducting regular training courses and programs for wildlife carers and veterinarians.
Research, Education & Conservation
The Zambi Wildlife Foundation partners with various institutions to conduct research to improve welfare and conservation outcomes for a wide range of species, both native and exotic. The foundation also seeks to raise global awareness for the plight of endangered species through a diverse range of mediums. Through its wide network and collaborative projects, the foundation will also directly support on the ground conservation efforts internationally.
