Rescue Venezuela's Starving Zoo Animals

The South American Initiative (SAI) is deeply grateful to share the progress of our zoo program during the third quarter of 2024. While we celebrate the successes, we are also reminded of the challenges faced by the animals we serve and the urgent need for continued support.

This quarter, we delivered 1,238 lbs pounds of essential food—nutritious fruits, eggs, meats, and nuts—to partner zoos and animal refuges.

These supplies are lifelines for the animals, ensuring they receive the care they need to survive and thrive.

One of the highlights of this quarter has been watching the new baby monkey grow. Full of energy and curiosity, this little one has brought joy to its troop, exploring and learning under the protective guidance of its elders. Yet, behind this heartwarming story lies a stark reality: many animals in South America face uncertain futures due to habitat loss and limited resources.

Your support makes all the difference. It allows us to provide not just food, but hope—a chance for these animals to live with dignity and care. But the need is great, and we cannot do this alone.

By joining us as a monthly donor, you can help ensure that  animal receives the nourishment and protection they deserve. Together, we can create a brighter, healthier future for these vulnerable creatures.

Thank you for being their hope.

The South American Initiative (SAI) is proud to announce the continued success of our zoo program in the second quarter of 2024. During this period, we have delivered a total of 1,586 pounds of essential food to support the diverse needs of animals in partner zoos and refuges. This critical aid ensures a steady supply of nutritious fruits, eggs, meat, and nuts, promoting the overall health and well-being of the creatures under their care.

Beyond providing sustenance, this quarter brought a heartwarming event at the monkey sanctuary. We are absolutely thrilled to share the news of a healthy baby monkey born to one of the resident primates! This adorable new arrival fills the refuge with joy and serves as a testament to the ongoing commitment of the dedicated staff. Their tireless efforts, combined with the essential support provided by SAI, create a nurturing environment where animals can thrive.

The birth of this precious primate signifies not only new life, but also the importance of supporting healthy ecosystems within zoos and sanctuaries. We extend our deepest gratitude to our generous donors whose contributions make these initiatives possible. Your continued support allows us to expand our reach and provide critical resources for the well-being of animals across South America.
