Our Story
At Terra World, we are passionate about providing exotic animals to lovers and enthusiasts across the globe. Our journey began with a deep connection to the natural world and a commitment to the ethical sourcing of wildlife. We pride ourselves on offering a unique collection of animals that are carefully selected from the wild forests of Southern Africa, Eastern Africa, West Africa, and Central Africa.
We believe in sustainability and working alongside reputable breeders and wildlife conservators, ensuring that each animal we offer is responsibly sourced. Whether it’s vibrant parrots from the rainforests or rare reptiles from the savannah, we ensure all our animals are healthy, ethically sourced, and well-cared for.
Our Mission
Our mission is not just about selling animals – it’s about sharing the beauty of these creatures with the world, educating our customers, and promoting wildlife conservation. We go the extra mile to guarantee that the animals we deliver are in the best of health, from the moment they are sourced to when they arrive at their new homes.
Our Expertise
At Terra World, we take immense pride in our decades of experience in the ethical collection and trade of reptiles, amphibians, invertebrates, and exotic species from across Southern Africa, Eastern Africa, West Africa, and Central Africa. Our expertise is not only rooted in the careful selection and collection of these remarkable creatures, but also in understanding the intricate legalities, documentation processes, and conservation efforts that surround them.
Building Strong Relationships with Breeders and Collectors
Over the years, we have established close partnerships with local breeders and other partner collectors across Africa. These relationships are built on trust, shared values, and mutual respect for wildlife. Our strong connections with these partners enable us to source high-quality, ethically bred animals and ensure that each transaction is conducted with integrity.
We work hand-in-hand with our partners to track the breeding, health, and legal status of the animals, ensuring that every creature we collect or purchase is healthy, well-cared for, and ready for its next journey.
Streamlined Paperwork and Legal Handling
Our vast experience extends beyond animal collection to the efficient handling of all paperwork and legal documentation. From import and export permits to health certificates, our team is well-versed in the documentation requirements of international trade. We ensure that all necessary paperwork is in place for every animal we collect or ship, keeping the process smooth and compliant with global standards.
Whether it’s filling out paperwork for import/export compliance or obtaining health checks from veterinarians, our meticulous attention to detail ensures that each transaction is handled with professionalism and care, so you can rest assured that everything is taken care of.
Ethical Collection and Handling of Species
We specialize in the collection of a diverse range of animals, from colorful reptiles like chameleons and geckos, to amphibians such as rare frogs and salamanders, and invertebrates including tarantulas and scorpions. Our team is highly skilled in identifying the best environments for these species, ensuring they are collected responsibly and with the utmost care for their habitats.
We also focus on exotic animals, including rare birds and mammals, sourcing them only from ethical, reputable breeders and trusted collectors who share our values of animal welfare and sustainability.
Expertise in Handling Legal and Endangered Species
Handling endangered species is a responsibility we take very seriously. Our deep knowledge of local and international wildlife regulations allows us to ensure that every animal we source complies with the highest legal standards. We work closely with wildlife authorities and conservation groups to guarantee that our collection efforts do not threaten the species’ survival. Our commitment to maintaining ethical practices ensures that we only source animals that are legally allowed for trade, and all our transactions are fully transparent.
We are also equipped to handle the unique challenges of acquiring legally protected species. Our extensive experience allows us to navigate the paperwork and permits required for the legal movement of endangered animals across borders, ensuring that all species are handled in compliance with international regulations such as CITES (Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species).
At Terra World, our expertise lies not only in our ability to ethically source and collect exceptional species but also in our dedication to conservation and the responsible management of biodiversity. Our passion for exotic wildlife is matched only by our commitment to protecting the ecosystems and environments from which they originate.
