Our team giving food to the zoo's

The SAI'S Animals Rescue program in Venezuela supports a zoo and two animal sanctuaries, providing assistance to over 60 endangered animal species through SAI. These animals receive vital nourishment and medical care, ensuring their well-being and conservation.

 

In the fourth quarter of 2023, our team of volunteers and employees distributed 1,343 lbs of food, including carrots, corn peppers, wheat bran, tomatoes, oats, zucchini, beans, pumpkin, protein, mangos, watermelon, powdered milk, and more.

 

Our dedicated team has identified parasites among the monkeys in our care. With vigilant monitoring, we swiftly provided deworming treatments, ensuring the well-being of these amazing creatures. The monkeys are responding positively to the treatment, showing improved health and vitality. The successful intervention highlights our commitment to proactive care and the positive impact of your support. Join us as a monthly donor and let's celebrate the victories we achieve together in nurturing and protecting animals in need!
