Withdrawal of disaster response in Serbia
Earlier this year, our disaster response team completed a successful animal welfare assessment in Serbia, following severe flooding. Unfortunately, however, we have had to end our operation in the region. Our planned response included vaccinations, which could only be successfully administered for a set time after the flood water subsided. Bound by this limitation and other factors beyond our control, the planned work has become unviable. In situations where there is a high chance that our work will not be effective in saving animals, we cannot risk spending money that could be used to successfully protect animals elsewhere. Despite the... Continue reading

Help is on the way for animals in Vanuatu – Tropical Cyclone Lusi
Our disaster response team is on its way to Vanuatu, to assess the impact of Tropical Cyclone Lusi and plan how best to help animals and communities affected. Since it struck, Cyclone Lusi has travelled the length of Vanuatu, impacting all six provinces of the country. More than 100,000 people have been affected, which is over a third of Vanuatu’s whole population. Several deaths and missing people have been reported. Animals in Vanuatu are especially at risk during storms like this one. Cattle in Vanuatu generally graze freely around coconut palm plantations, rather than being kept in pens. This means...

Philippines oil spill: helping the animals left behind
Last week, a barge containing bunker oil spilled 200,000 gallons on the waters and shore of Estancia, covering four communities or "barangays". The fumes were and still are dangerous enough to have forced the evacuation of over 100,000 people, now living in a dozen small "tent cities". These facilities are nothing but tents in muddy lots, with no possibility for the holding of animals, now left behind in the exclusion zone. Access to this exclusion zone is restricted to short periods wearing masks. However, we’ve identified farm and domestic animals left behind and in need of assistance. Check out Director...

Our team reports back from Ecuador floods
Recent heavy rains in Ecuador have meant over 3,000 rural families affected in the Santa Ana District after the main river in the zone burst its banks. Crops were absolutely destroyed by the flooding and many animals are currently suffering skin infections, pneumonias and diarrhoeas. After the declaration of the state of emergency, a DART team from neighbour country Colombia -where our South American office is based in- flew to Ecuador to evaluate the animal welfare need. While the weather again played havoc with the itineraries and they had to spend many hours being detoured to different airports, our WSPA... Continue reading
