Emergency intervention to save animals in zoos

The continuation of the armed conflict in Yemen, and the deterioration of the humanitarian, economic and social conditions, have negatively affected the wild animals that receive care in the industrial reserves, as a result of the lack of available capacity to meet the increasing needs, which led to the deterioration of animals, especially endangered animals that need special care in order to remain on Alive .

SORD's interventions cover a fraction of the zoo's emergency needs, unfortunately because we are still in the process of raising funds that we are still unable to provide for the full service to conserve the remaining endangered animals such as the Arabian leopard. The animals and the garden were provided with water, some vaccinations, hygiene and food for 20 Arab tigers.Unfortunately, the emergency needs of the Taiz Industrial Reserve, according to the working administration’s statement, exceed $392,000 to cover the minimum period for a year. Unfortunately, the possibilities are decreasing and the needs are increasing, which has led to the death of animals, especially endangered animals that need special care to survive.

For example, on Friday, June 25, 2021, the number of the Arab tiger decreased to 36 in Taiz Park, due to the death of one of them inside the cage as a result of the lack of food and health services that keep it alive as it gets less than half a meal per day.

It is really unfortunate, the wildlife in Yemen is threatened in a very large way, so we are waiting for your donations, no matter how small, they will have a great impact to preserve what remains of the rare endangered animals. We would also like to thank everyone who donated and contributed generously, and we assure that this will not be in vain.We will continue to stand along with those in need, and wit your help, hope can be restored in the eye of the future.
