A animal rescue center in Bolivia
Introduction
The figure of the animal rescue center becomes very necessary to safeguard wildlife, especially in those countries where biodiversity and crimes against it are as abundant as in Bolivia. Now, the ONCA Animal Rescue Center is seriously threatened by the last floods and needs all possible help.
Developing
The organization for the natives and conservation of the Amazon, also known as ONCA, is a animal rescue center located in the Bolivian Amazon, specifically between Madidi National Park and the Pilón Lajas Natural Park. A few days ago, a flood from the nearby Beni River razed several facilities of the center, including the veterinary clinic, the bedrooms of the volunteers and kitchens.
Thanks to the tireless work of the volunteers and workers of the center, no animal has been injured. Some animals, such as primates, have risen to the highest trees to avoid being engulfed by the waters. Currently, onca is in charge.
Other animals have been real, as is the case with the coatis and some of the last bailouts of onca: two young of threatened felines, the jaguar and the margay, urgently need facilities to guarantee their well -being.
Similarly, one of the greatest concerns of the center is the absence of veterinary and quarantine clinic, without which it is impossible to guarantee the health of the dozens of wild specimens that this animal rescue center has saved from illegal fauna trafficking.
Most of these animals have arrived through seizures, and even many of them have been pets of people who have ended up yielding to the center. In the Entca camp these animals can live a life that combines their natural habitat with the veterinary care necessary for these abused animals.
Normally, the rainy season is always a challenge for this animal rescue center, but it seems that every year the floods are greater and, on this occasion, much of the structures of the center have been buried.
The work of ONCA, more necessary than ever
This animal rescue center not only fights illegal trafficking and loss of biodiversity: it also works together with the local communities of the Amazon to ensure that their conservation project supports those who live with the animals of which oncaHe takes charge, and that also make up part of the center staff.
Thus, onca works with the native communities that EJJ and Tacana, with English classes, reforestation, construction of schools, delivery of school materials or educational activities to sensitize about the ecosystems that surround these people and in turn learn from them.
conclusion
The Enca camp was the heart of this conservation project, and included ecological orchards, veterinary clinic, quarantine, in addition to animal accommodation and for the people who help them. Now, you must continue your task having to rebuild much of the center on non -flood.
To deal with this, the Bolivian Animal Rescue Center urges as possible aid. Thus, Once has put a video on what happened and several ways of collaborating economically, although the simple dissemination of this situation can help its work. We encourage you to collaborate so that this beautiful project goes ahead.
