As you may know, at SOS Pri­ma­tes, we con­ti­nue our efforts to send work equipment—primarily uni­forms and gloves—from Bar­ce­lo­na to various pri­ma­te reha­bi­li­ta­tion cen­ters and other wild­li­fe facilities.
The Zoo de Bar­ce­lo­na pro­vi­des this unu­sed mate­rial in good con­di­tion so that the care­gi­vers of the­se cen­ters can reuse it.
At our NGO, we deeply value the work of ani­mal care­ta­kers, not only becau­se some of us have worked—or currently work—in this job but also becau­se the well-being of any ani­mal spe­cies depends on the wor­king con­di­tions and moti­va­tion of its care­gi­vers. Having the right equip­ment is cru­cial for this cru­cial work.
We are gra­te­ful to Ale­jan­dro Cabre­ra from the Con­ser­va­tion Depart­ment of the Zoo Aqua­rium de Madrid, who trans­por­ted 23.3 kg of mate­rials to Madrid and deli­ve­red them to a repre­sen­ta­ti­ve of PASA Pri­ma­tes: Pan Afri­can Sanc­tuary Allian­ce. Said mate­rial was then sent to South Afri­ca, whe­re it was dis­tri­bu­ted among the PASA Pri­ma­tes-affi­lia­ted cen­ters and sanc­tua­ries. The, com­pri­sing Afri­can sanc­tua­ries, is dedi­ca­ted to ensu­ring that all its mem­bers ope­ra­te under opti­mal con­di­tions, thus enhan­cing the care and res­cue of primates.
We would also like to extend our heart­felt thanks to PASA and all tho­se invol­ved for their kind­ness and altruism in sup­por­ting the­se cen­ters and the pri­ma­tes they shel­ter. None of this would be pos­si­ble without the dona­tions from the Bar­ce­lo­na Zoo and the tire­less efforts of SOS Pri­ma­tes volun­teers who coor­di­na­te and pre­pa­re the materials.

If you have plans to visit any wild­li­fe cen­ters and would like to assist by brin­ging uni­forms or other mate­rials, plea­se do not hesi­ta­te to con­tact us at info@sosprimates.org.
Thank you for being supportive!
