« Ce unprecedented project for our association is requesting exceptional funds: individuals, companies, etc.,” writes the zoological space on its social networks.
Saturation du refuge
“The construction of the enclosure must begin very, very quickly so that everything is ready for transfer before the summer holidays. Faced with saturation of the shelter, it is crucial to free up places quickly to save other animals in need,” continues the shelter.
Servals, which began their lives in private homes, can be rehabilitated into the wild. Take part in the first release of trafficked servals in France.
Tonga Land of welcome
Tonga says it is working again with SanWild Sanctuary since it was to this sanctuary that the Tonga hippopotamus was sent in 2008.
