My take on The losers’ club 🎃

There has recently been a devastating outbreak of aspergillosis among the critically endangered kakapo parrot.

Kakapo conservationists had a record-breaking year of 70 new kakapo chicks, only to be hit with a sudden, severe illness that has already killed 7 birds (there are only 142 adults and 72 chicks in the entire population).

The staff of the Auckland Zoo and Department of Conservation have responded heroically to this challenge, but there is only so much they can do with their current staffing and funding. They need our help!

What can you do?

DONATE. Department of Conservation biologists have made it clear that their usual funding is not enough to deal with this unprecedented situation and have flat out asked the public for donations.

This page has information on how to donate.

**Zoo People**: As of June 3rd the Auckland Zoo was still asking for additional staffing support from the zoological community: “at least one additional avian-experienced veterinarian, three zoo veterinary nurses, and three avian experienced keepers”.

Sorry for doing this on mobile, but this is urgent. If you can spare a few dollars, the ARL of Iowa could use some assistance in caring for these cats!

You can donate here.

The ARL is a nonprofit and also has an Amazon wishlist, so if you can buy any supplies that may assist them, you can check that here.
