We are struggling to find the wordsโฆ but we need to share what has happened at Prime Crew.
The floods have left devastation in our wake.
Places that once felt safe, familiar, and full of life are now unrecognizable. If youโve ever visited us, youโll remember the concrete bridge that led to the semi-wilds, that bridge is gone. Completely washed away, as if it never existed.
The river walk area where so many gentle, trusting moments were shared with the juveniles has been taken too.
The water that came down was not just heavy โ it was violent and unforgiving.
The pump, the lifeline that supplied water to the semi-wilds, has disappeared. We had only just replaced it on the 18th of April, hoping to restore normality after the previous one failed. Now, itโs goneโฆ along with so much more.
The semi-wilds are severely damaged. Right now, the only way we can reach the animals is by walking through the river, carrying food by hand โ step by step, trying to bring some sense of care back into chaos.
Our border fence has collapsed, leaving the animals vulnerable and exposed.
The two energisers we had just bought at the end of March didnโt stand a chance against the force of this disaster.
But the hardest partโฆ the part that truly breaks usโฆ is the loss.
We lost three of the baboons.
Three lives. Three personalities. Three souls who were part of our family.
In the video, youโll see one of the most heartbreaking moments โ a reminder that this isnโt just damage to land or equipmentโฆ this is loss that cuts deep.
We cannot begin to explain the power of the water that came through here. It took more than structures โ it took pieces of our hearts with it.
Right now, we are exhausted, grieving, and overwhelmed. But we are still here. And so are the animals who need us more than ever.
If youโve ever connected with Prime Crew, if youโve ever walked these paths, if youโve ever felt what makes this place special โ we are asking you to stand with us now.
We need your help to rebuild. To restore safety. To keep going.
Every bit of support, every share, every kind word carries us forward when it feels impossible.
Thank you for holding us up in one of our darkest moments.
