Save Pantanal wildlife

Funds will be used to rebuild enclosures, provide veterinary care, feed animals, install water wells, maintain staff, and support firefighters with protective equipment and accommodation. 

Devastating fires are consuming the Pantanal, destroying habitats and threatening wildlife. These fires have caused unprecedented damage, burning over 2.5 million acres of land, disrupting ecosystems, and displacing countless species. Immediate action is needed to mitigate the effects of these fires, support wildlife rehabilitation, and restore the natural habitat to ensure the survival of affected species and the resilience of the ecosystem.
