The meeting, which will take place at The Lion’s Foundation in the Waterberg Biosphere Reserve, in Limpopo Province will discuss the implementation and enforcement of animal welfare standards within wildlife conservation and rehabilitation facilities, with specific reference to ethical treatment, veterinary care, housing, and management.
The committees will also hear about institutional readiness for the implementation of the proposed Animal Welfare Bill, including interdepartmental coordination between environmental and agricultural authorities.
