ACTIVITY DESCRIPTION
The Centre is a no-profit organization mainly based on volunteering work. It is operative 365 days a year, 24/7 and is committed to recovering and rescuing of wounded autochthonous wild animals (deer, roes, raptors, hedgehogs, foxes, dormice, etc…). It also deals with the protection of abandoned or abused in case of cruelty and unauthorized trade and possession of exotic fauna (felines, primates, parrots, etc.). The work of volunteers is organized in groups called “Earth”, “Water” (to which the “Air” group is added only during the summer) and “Fire”, each of which provides for the management of different species. After the initial and necessary training period, combined with the fundamental acquisition of safety standards, the volunteers take care of routine tasks daily including feeding, caring and cleaning the animals' houses on the work path to which they are assigned.
