Raining day 

Brown bears sanctuary Arcturos wildlife protection organization in northern Greece is asking the public for financial support following sharp revenues drop due to the lockdown imposed in the country. Visits have stopped and therefore the revenues, the organization said in a statement.

Arcturos revenues derive exclusively from visits to the environmental centers, the sales of its products and on subscriptions.

Now that visits to Nymfeo shelter are not allowed, a significant part of this revenue stream has dried up and in the coming months, Arcturos will not have the funds to care for the wildlife and other animals at the shelter, the statement stressed.

The sanctuaries in Nymfeo and Agrapidies have currently 23 brown bears, 13 wolves, 25 Greek sheep dogs – which are a breed threatened with dying out – and one deer.
