As devastating human-made forest fires that were likely lit to clear land for factory farming activities ravaged the homes of wild animals in Brazil recently, you helped our partners on the ground to rush to their rescue.
Our local partners Tamandua Institute are now caring for three of the baby giant anteaters who were found distressed on the road, likely fleeing from the flames. The remaining two will shortly be on their way to their care also, after they have completed their initial rehabilitation at The Wild Animal Rehabilitation Center.
One of the anteaters arrived at the institute with her mum who was in a critical condition from possibly being run over by a vehicle. Some of the others arrived orphaned, with one found on the banks of a highway.
How you’re helping animals in Brazil
Thanks to your support, our local partners were able to carry out field visits along with rescue teams to help wild animals affected by factory-farming driven fires.
You're helping our partners on the ground:
- give animals specialised care and a balanced diet
- provide behavioural stimulation activities
- ensure recovery and adaptation of animals
- prepare animals for a successful reintroduction into their natural habitat.
Your support is crucial to the successful rescue and rehabilitation of wildlife affected by fires in the Pantanal and Cerrado habitats in Brazil. With your generosity, we have made significant improvements to the enclosures where the young wildlife are kept, providing a more suitable and enriched environment for their development.
Together, we can protect animals from cruel factory farming fires in Brazil.
Environmental impact
