About the project:
The project aims to provide emergency medical care, food, and clean water to meet the immediate needs of animals in zoos in Yemen. It is a project that aims to provide emergency medical care, food, and clean water to animals in zoos in Yemen. Animals in zoos in Yemen suffer from difficult conditions due to the ongoing conflict in the country. Many of these animals are in desperate need of emergency medical care, food and clean water to survive. This project aims to provide these basic services to animals in zoos across Yemen. This will be accomplished by identifying parks in need of emergency assistance and providing emergency medical care to sick and injured animals in these parks. All animals in these parks will be provided with food and clean water on a regular basis. A long-term plan will be developed for the ongoing care and maintenance of these animals, including the establishment of a network of animal welfare organizations and volunteers to provide ongoing support.
The project aims to uphold the principles of justice by ensuring that all animals, regardless of their species or origin, have equitable access to life-saving interventions. In this context, it involves meeting the urgent needs of every animal in distress, promoting a sense of responsibility for their well-being, and promoting Fair distribution of resources to enhance their chances of survival.
Achievements :
In the midst of armed conflict and societal collapse in Yemen, countless lives hang in the balance, including those of innocent animals trapped in zoos across Taiz, Ibb and Sanaa. Facing starvation, drought, disease and inadequate surroundings, these creatures teeter on the brink of extinction. Our project is a vital lifeline that aims to provide urgent humanitarian services and ensure their well-being and survival. Through immediate care, rehabilitation and sustainable long-term measures, we will work to promote a future in which Yemeni zoo animals have the respect and protection they deserve. Due to the collapse of humanitarian conditions in Yemen, animals, especially in zoos, were most affected as food, clean water and veterinary services were not provided, which resulted in To the deterioration of her health condition, which claimed her life, to her contracting many diseases, and then to her death and death, and even to the extinction of some rare species that are threatened with extinction, such as lions, tigers, and the rare Arabian leopard, if the matter is not quickly remedied and life-saving emergency aid is provided. The prolonged armed conflict since March 2015 has left a lot of destruction in all aspects
of life, especially wildlife, which has become unable to preserve its rare and endangered animals, including the Arabian leopard. The tragic conditions extended to industrial parks designated for wild animals, as they were no longer able to continue their work and cover the needs of the animals in them, which led to the death of a large number of wild animals, including rare and endangered ones. Since the organization issued updates to the project in line with its expansion of activities during the year 2024 AD to include most of the zoos in Yemen, it began implementation according to the new update from the beginning of February 2024 AD, and in view of the expansion of its plan, it began conducting a complete survey of the parks while evaluating the previous stages and starting implementation of the plan. :
