NAMIBIA ANIMAL REHABILITATION RESEARCH & EDUCATION CENTRE

NARREC is a nationally utilized centre for the treatment, care and rehabilitation of wildlife. Most of the animals received at NARREC are birds. We also receive a variety of small mammals and some reptiles. NARREC was founded in 1988 with the goal of caring for injured and orphaned wild animals and working toward their successful release into the natural environment. An integral part of NARRECs work is providing an enjoyable and informative educational environment for visiting groups.

NARRECs centre-based programs provide a guided environmental education program to students from pre-primary through tertiary level, as well as for in-service trainees. NARRECs outreach program provides attractive and relevant information on local wildlife species. This information aims to support biodiversity in general and birds in particular. Posters and booklets have been developed to increase awareness on the links between natural and social environments that create risks for and threats to wildlife.
