About Al Ma'wa
Al Ma'wa for Nature and Wildlife provides a permanent, dignified home for rescued and confiscated wild animals in Jordan.
Our story
Established in 2011 through a partnership between the Princess Alia Foundation and FOUR PAWS, Al Ma'wa is a regional sanctuary providing a long-term solution for rescued and confiscated wild animals. Set across 110 hectares of forest in Souf, Jerash, it delivers care and rehabilitation to the highest international standards.
Here, a creature's worst chapter becomes the beginning of a gentler one.
