People and wildlife share the same future.
CuteFela is a global environmental organisation connecting conservation, environmental learning, resilient livelihoods and rights with the institutions and people that can help practical work travel further.
What is CuteFela?
An environmental organisation working across conservation, education, livelihoods and rights while connecting practical action with international environmental processes.
Vision and mission
Environmental work makes more sense when the pieces stay connected.
Our vision is to unite people to protect people and wildlife. Our mission is to nurture sustainability so wildlife thrives and the connection between people and the natural world becomes inseparable.
Learning and livelihoods
Environmental knowledge becomes useful when it connects to real places, economic choices and everyday decisions.
Rights and governance
Field priorities need routes into institutions, finance and public processes if they are going to last.
Institutional standing
Accredited for the rooms where environmental decisions are discussed.
Accreditation creates access to conversations, expertise and institutions. We use that access to listen carefully, build relationships and connect practical priorities with wider environmental and social development work.

Our work
Different problems. One connected environmental reality.
Education, wildlife care and disaster response often overlap in the same places. Each programme has a clear purpose while still supporting the others where that connection is useful.
01 / School programs
Learn it. See it. Keep it going.
Environmental and rights learning supported by field exposure, student working groups and projects that can continue after a single session.

02 / Wildlife rehabilitation
Recovery needs more than rescue.
Intake, diagnostics, treatment, suitable housing, rehabilitation, translocation and release all depend on the facilities and people that make each stage possible.
Explore rehabilitation
03 / Disaster response
Emergency help, recovery and resilience.
A three stage approach covering immediate relief, reconstruction and rehabilitation, and the longer work of helping communities prepare for future hazards.
