CREAVES de Namur

CREAVES de Namur is a charity based in Temploux, Belgium working on nature & wildlife conservation, animal welfare.

CREAVES de Namur is a non-profit association (asbl) and wildlife rehabilitation centre in Temploux, Wallonia, Belgium. It takes in wild animals that are injured, sick or in danger, treats them, and releases them back into the wild once they are rehabilitated. In Wallonia, CREAVES centres are the only bodies authorised to take in sick, injured or endangered wild animals. The centre is funded mainly by individual donations, a recurring membership system and an annual subsidy from the Service Public de Wallonie, which covers around 30% of annual costs. It relies heavily on volunteers for care, maintenance, transport and administration, and offers guidance on how the public should respond when finding wildlife. The centre is not a shelter or animal park; animals stay temporarily and are released into their natural habitat. Donations are tax-deductible in Belgium.
