Wildlife Rescue on the Main

We work with a local Frankfurt-based wildlife charity called Projekt Oase – Mensch und Tier im Einklang e.V., which focuses on protecting and rescuing wild waterfowl and other birds along the Main River.

Projekt Oase is a small but passionate group of animal lovers and activists committed to creating a safe and natural environment for water birds, including swans, ducks, geese, coots, and herons, particularly in the Maininsel area near the Alte Brücke in Frankfurt.

Our collaboration with Projekt Oase typically involves assisting with rescues of injured or distressed birds and other wildlife that are found along the river. Whether a swan has been hurt, a duckling is in danger, or a goose needs care, we respond together whenever we’re needed. After each rescue, we help with the care and eventual release of the animals back into their natural habitat once they are healthy and ready.

Beyond rescue operations, we support broader efforts to protect the Main River environment and reduce hazards such as discarded fishing lines, litter, and other threats to wildlife. Together with Projekt Oase, we help raise awareness about responsible behavior and respect for nature among locals and visitors alike.

The work with Projekt Oase is always meaningful and grounded in the belief that humans and animals deserve to live in harmony — an ethos at the heart of the charity’s mission: “Mensch und Tier im Einklang.”

Our work with Projekt Oase – Mensch und Tier im Einklang e.V. is only possible thanks to YOUR support. If you value the protection of wildlife and want to help us continue rescuing, caring for, and releasing animals along the Main River, we would be grateful for your support. Every contribution helps ensure that humans and animals can continue to live in harmony.
