The Hellenic Wildlife Care Association, H.W.C.A. (ANIMA) is a non-profit association with its main activity being the nursing and rehabilitation of wild animals in their natural environment. It was established in 2005, today being the largest and most prominent organization in Greece for wildlife care and rehabilitation. Each year ANIMA treats about 8,000 wild animals, many of which are rare or endangered, responds to thousands of citizens for issues concerning wildlife, collaborates with authorities, NGOs and stakeholders to address threats to wildlife, and mobilizes hundreds of volunteers. The number of incidents arriving at the organization's First Aid Station is increasing rapidly every year. In 2021, the admissions reached 8,300, and are increased by more than 30% compared to 2020.

Help ANIMA Save Greece's wild animals injured in wildfires

The scorching heat wave had already taken a toll on Greece's wildlife when devastating fires swept through Attika, leaving behind a trail of destruction and misery for countless innocent animals. Now, more than ever, the Hellenic Wildlife Care Association - ANIMA, our dedicated wildlife rescue and rehabilitation center, needs YOUR support to tackle this double disaster head-on! The fires have caused immense harm, leaving many animals injured, orphaned, and struggling to survive amidst the ashes. In the face of this dire situation, the Hellenic Wildlife Care Association - ANIMA's tireless team is on the ground, working day and night to provide medical attention, shelter, and nourishment to these vulnerable creatures. But the challenge doesn't end there. The fires have inflicted damage on our Kalyvia site, a crucial sanctuary for rescued animals. To continue providing a safe haven for these animals during their rehabilitation, we must repair and restore the site urgently. Your support can make all the difference for Greece's wildlife affected by this double disaster. Every single donation counts! Your contribution will directly support the medical care, food, and shelter needed for these injured animals until they heal and we ultimately release them back into their natural habitats where they belong. Time is of the essence! Your compassion and generosity can be the beacon of hope for our wildlife in need. Together, let's stand strong and support ANIMA as we face this double disaster. Help us continue protecting and preserving the precious wildlife of Greece.

Help Us Save Greece's Baby Animals: Your Support Needed Now!

Every spring, ANIMA - Hellenic Wildlife Care Association in Greece becomes a sanctuary for an overwhelming number of baby animals in desperate need of care. From tiny baby birds and fox cubs to hedgehogs and fawns, these fragile creatures arrive at our sanctuary seeking refuge, nourishment, and medical support. The Crisis We Face Since the beginning of this month, ANIMA is truly in a state of emergency. May ended with 1,114 admissions, a barely manageable number. But on just the first 10 days of June, we have already admitted 600 animals. This unprecedented influx is stretching our resources to the breaking point. The early heatwave is forcing baby birds to jump from their nests in an attempt to escape the sweltering temperatures, leading to a surge in the number of orphaned and injured wildlife. The pressure on our staff is immense. We face increased demands for food and other consumables. Additionally, our energy consumption is skyrocketing as many baby animals are hypothermic despite the heat and need incubators, while fans and dehumidifiers also run continuously. This is where we need you, our compassionate supporters. The survival of these vulnerable creatures depends on the kindness and generosity of people like you. Each animal plays a vital role in the ecosystem, contributing to the natural balance and health of their habitats. By ensuring their survival and successful release, we help maintain the intricate web of life that sustains our planet. By contributing to our campaign, you can directly impact the lives of countless baby animals, ensuring they receive the nourishment and medical care they desperately need. Your donation will: Provide Essential Nutrition for Baby Animals Cover Veterinary Care Costs: Ensuring every animal receives the medical attention it needs. Support Operational Expenses: Covering the costs of energy consumption and other consumables. With the summer, heatwaves, and potential wildfires ahead, our challenges are only expected to increase. Every Dollar Counts Every dollar you donate will go a long way in helping us provide for these innocent creatures. No contribution is too small. Together, we can ensure these baby animals have a fighting chance at life, allowing them to grow strong and eventually return to their natural habitats. Act Now! The situation is urgent. Your immediate support can make all the difference. Join us in our mission to save Greece's baby animals. Your kindness and compassion will not only save lives but will also leave a lasting impact on our natural world. Donate Now and Make a Difference Your donation today will help us continue our vital work in wildlife rehabilitation. Let's give these baby animals the chance they deserve. Together, we can make a world of difference. Join Us โ€“ Save a Life Today!
