This case is a reminder of the urgency of conserving forests to protect the species which inhabit them. 🌿

These serious injuries, possibly caused by a dog attack, led the specialist to recommend euthanasia as the most compassionate option to avoid more suffering. This case is not an isolated event. Habitat loss due to deforestation is exposing these primates to increasing dangers.

After being evaluated by a veterinarian, the animal was found to have perforations in the skin of the abdomen, a complete dislocation between two lumbar vertebrae and severe damage to the spinal cord, without possibility of recovery through surgery or medical treatment.

‼️If you find injured wildlife, follow the examples above: stay calm, avoid interacting directly with the animal and report the case to the authorities. Every effort, accompanied by institutions like NPC, helps to protect the wildlife that enriches our environments. 🌳🦉✨

In another case, workers at a restaurant found an owl (𝘔𝘦𝘨𝘢𝘴𝘤𝘰𝘱𝘴 𝘤𝘩𝘰𝘭𝘪𝘣𝘢) inside a disused oven. Upon notifying (ARA), we were able to rescue it and ensure the bird's recovery.

A toucanet (𝘗𝘵𝘦𝘳𝘰𝘨𝘭𝘰𝘴𝘴𝘶𝘴 𝘤𝘢𝘴𝘵𝘢𝘯𝘰𝘵𝘪𝘴) was found unconscious on a motorcycle by a girl who, together with her parents, took it to a veterinarian, who then contacted the Regional Environmental Authority (ARA). Thanks to their quick action, the bird recovered well.

Congratulations to Anna!
