Total commitment and a love for animals drives this Plettenberg Bay woman to try and change the law about whether animals can own the land on which they live, and so protect their habitat forever.

Faced with the reality that there’s nowhere in the world where the animals who live on the land can own it, Lara Mostert and Tony Blignaut of SAASA (the South African Animal Sanctuaries Alliance), decided to come up with a solution of their own.

Africa is the world’s second-largest continent and it comes complete with over 850 recorded bird species. Having such a varying, colorful selection of interesting birds, it is, unsurprisingly, a globally-renowned birding destination. 

Birds of Eden, the bird sanctuary in The Crags near Plettenberg Bay, is on an African grey parrot mission.

This wild bird sanctuary near Plettenberg Bay became the go-to solution for pet birds whose owners were forced to give them up during Covid. It’s now also the home to the world’s largest assemblage of different types of turaco.

The aim: Finding a decent solution for the washouts of the African Grey Parrot pet industry in South Africa, a new home for ex-pet African Grey Parrots.
