Resumo: (animals)
The hosting organization is a wildlife rescue center that helps around 10.000 birds and animals yearly.
80% of the animals are wild native ones. They are brought to the center or caught by an animal rescue team, because they are wounded, ill or too young to take care of themselves. Cured animals are then released back into nature.
20% of the animals are exotic ones. They are brought to the center because of confiscation, being abandoned, closure of zoo’s, …). They temporarily stay at the Natuurhulpcentrum until a new home is found.
