Hello Lion Hearts!

I believe I can absolutely say it has been awhile. So I wanted to fill everyone in and introduce our new projects and proposals. As many are aware we left Taiz Zoo. It was with a heavy heart but also the hope and help we waited on for five years. IFAW, after five years, has stepped up for the Taiz zoo animals. They have provided food, water, medications, care, and more natural habitat enclosures. We are grateful because for years it was just us and we are a small but mighty charity but IFAW is much larger and has much more resources and contributions. Now, we did say, if the animals are in need again, we would always help in any or all ways we could. The Taiz animals and people will always hold our hearts.

As for our future, we are going to be fundraising to buy protected land and habitat for endangered species. From this land aquisition, we will be setting up monitoring, radio collars, microchips, and a team of rangers and biologist to monitor each endangered animal for health, movement, and protection. We also will set up programs for education and for human/wildlife conflict. The general public are vital for success.

WILDLIFE REHABILITATION AND SANCTUARY

We will be fundraising for a wildlife rehabilitation center and sanctuary. Unfortunately, there is a huge need for these facilities. Although, rehabilitation locally has increased to daily calls in the spring and summer. Here are a few we took in this year to foster and release. Due to the need of both here and abroad, we would like to expand and have a natural facility for those that cannot be released and a rehab for all that can be released. Our goal will be $250,000 USD. It will be used to expand property, build a quarantine facility and treatment area, fencing, and shelter.
