The war continues, and the situation of reserves and national parks in the war zone is becoming increasingly difficult. Reserve workers are forced to flee from shelling, lose their homes, and live in a humanitarian catastrophe. Even worse the situation is for animals in zoos, and rehabilitation centers.
Unfortunately, the state cannot help people and especially animals in the territory under occupation and where hostilities continue. It will be possible when the Ukrainian Armed Forces liberates the territories occupied by the russian occupation forces. Before that, we have to help our nature.
Ukrainian Nature Conservation Group has launched a fundraising campaign to support national parks and reserves. We ask you to help!
We ask you to share this link with colleagues and acquaintances in other countries.
We also thank everyone who has already made a contribution to saving nature! Some of the employees of the occupied reserves managed to be taken to the controlled territory, another part was simply able to buy the necessary products and medicines. They partially bought fodder for animals kept in the war zone (and for some they even strengthened fences and made shelters). It is very touching that a significant amount of money comes from other countries, from people who have never been to Ukraine.
However, much more money is needed. We ask you to spread this post as much as possible, because we need help right now!
After the war, we will prepare a big briefing with the directors of reserves and zoos, to whom we were all able to help and report on the help. As long as the war and occupation continue, we will not put the directors of reserves, zoos and national parks in mortal danger, as they have all remained in their jobs, along with natural areas and animals.
For those who will not use the button to transfer funds, but bank details, in the purpose of the request, please simply indicate the “charitable contribution”. 100% of the funds received on these accounts before the end of the war will be directed exclusively to the needs of reserves and national parks.
