Orphans of the Wild: The story behind Chipangali – Vivian J. Wilson (Signed by the author)

Description

“Chipangali is a haven for wild animals which have little hope for survival in the wild – animals or birds which have been orphaned, abandoned, injured, born in captivity or brought up unsuccessfully as pets. It is often the last refuge for those brought in sick or injured, and has increasingly become a sanctuary for confiscated animals.

“The wildlife Orphanage was established in 1973 by ex-game ranger Vivian Wilson and his wife Paddy, and its primary function is to offer a home to orphaned, abandoned and sick wild animals. Chipangali is not a zoo. The word Chipangali comes from the Chinyanja language in eastern Zambia. The word itself means “open friendly country”.”
