Last Octo­ber, we pre­pa­red seve­ral boxes of equip­ment dona­ted by the Zoo de Bar­ce­lo­na, con­sis­ting of uni­forms and glo­ves, along with addi­tio­nal boxes of vete­ri­nary sup­plies gene­rously con­tri­bu­ted by Cris­ti­na Collell. The­se were for the Wild Fau­na Hos­pi­tal of AMUS Acción por el Mun­do Sal­va­je (Action for the Wild World) in Vila­fran­ca de los Barros, Badajoz.

The total weight of the mate­rials amoun­ted to 76.25 kg, and this equip­ment will be inva­lua­ble for the hos­pi­tal staff in their daily tasks. The hos­pi­tal has been ope­ra­ting suc­cess­fully for over 30 years and spe­cia­li­zes in pro­vi­ding medi­cal assis­tan­ce to wild fau­na, cove­ring nume­rous ver­te­bra­te groups, par­ti­cu­larly birds and mammals

hey have been pio­neers in imple­men­ting pro­jects on bone grafts and cellu­lar the­rapy, colla­bo­ra­ting with scien­ti­fic ins­ti­tu­tions, uni­ver­si­ties, and medi­cal experts, among other orga­ni­za­tions dedi­ca­ted to pre­ven­ting the extin­ction of our wild­li­fe and pro­tec­ting it from various threats.

s you know, SOS Pri­ma­tes mana­ges and dis­pat­ches dona­ted mate­rials from the Bar­ce­lo­na Zoo to wild­li­fe reco­very cen­ters, not limi­ted to primates.

You can see in the accom­pan­ying pho­tos some of the acti­vi­ties at the cen­ter and the AMUS team recei­ving the mate­rials we sent.

We extend our heart­felt thanks to ever­yo­ne involved—Barcelona Zoo, AMUS, espe­cially Sonia and Álva­ro, and, of cour­se, the dedi­ca­ted volun­teers who made it pos­si­ble: Yolan­da, Lola, Eric, Anto­nio, Luis, and Álva­ro. This team coor­di­na­ted the dis­tri­bu­tion of the boxes from Bar­ce­lo­na, through Vina­roz, and ulti­ma­tely to Bada­joz, with some pac­ka­ges pas­sing through Gavà, Bar­ce­lo­na. It was a remar­ka­ble ope­ra­tion with a happy outcome.
If you tra­vel to any country with pri­ma­te or other ani­mal reha­bi­li­ta­tion cen­ters and wish to help, plea­se do not hesi­ta­te to con­tact us so we can arran­ge a ship­ment during your trip.
