Currently, members of FinnDomingo e.V. are traveling Chile to prepare our projects for the year 2025. These are always exchange and education projects, which so far have mainly focused on dogs and cats, as this is the most evident problem in Chile.
Equally important, though less visible, are the often appalling conditions in which farm animals are kept as well as wild animals kept by humans, i.e. in zoos and circuses.
Exotic animals are imported and kept illegally in Chile, and the responsible authorities are often not very helpful. So anyone who wants to change anything in this area has a very difficult time.
Nevertheless, there are rescue centers – private of course – and two of them, especially impressive, we have visited lately: 1. the Ñacurutú Foundation in the coastal town of Copiulemu (which we will report on later) and 2. the Quillón Educational Biopark of the Foundation For The Protection Of Wildlife, located on the outskirts of the little town Quillón.
See here some impressions of the park, with which FinnDomingo plans to start cooperating and implementing projects in 2025:
