In commemoration of the animals that perished as a result of Russian aggression, a special memorial plaque has been installed at the Rivne Zoo. The opening ceremony took place on May 24.

The initiator of the creation and installation of the plaque was a Rivne resident, Olena Yevtodyuk. She financed the project with her own money.

The memorial plaque in the Rivne Zoo is not the first case of honoring the memory of animals that suffered in the war. In Kharkiv, there is a monument in honor of monkeys that survived the Nazi occupation.

It should be noted that with the beginning of the war, the Rivne Zoo emerged as the center for the reception, storage, and distribution of humanitarian aid for zoos across Ukraine. Moreover, it provided shelter for about one hundred animals evacuated from zoos in combat zones.

Earlier, we reported that the publishing house Bearded Tamarin has adopted three animals at the Rivne Zoo.

The Rivne Zoo received 8.5 tons of hay as a gift for animals – on the eve of Christmas.

Thanks to the efforts of Aleksandra Lazarchuk, it was possible to create a supply of much-needed, but hard-to-find food. She organized a fundraiser. After UAH 30,000 was collected, gift for animals was purchased and delivered to the zoo.

“I’m very grateful for your support! Every donation means a lot nowadays – just 3 EUR is a daily amount needed to sustain a big animal like yak. And with the gathered sum, we can help to keep some bellies full for a couple of months!” – benefactress wrote on her page in social media.

So, thanks to the caring people, the residents of the Rivne Zoo received a supply of their favorite feed!

The whole world is asking itself the question: “How can I help Ukraine?”
⠀
After all, there is probably no one who would stay away and not donate to the Armed Forces, to families who were left without a home, and to animals in zoos and outdoors.
⠀
All of them suffered the most from the terrorist country. It’s scary to convey how much grief and hell we have seen in these 10 months. But at such a beautiful New Year’s time, we believe in a miracle and the fastest victory. We pray for people who stand as a shield for our peace and peaceful sleep!
⠀
Today, we would like to thank Liubov Mocharska and the Australian War Animal Memorial Organization for an incredible New Year’s gift – a generator for our LIMPOPO Zoo. Honestly, we lack words of thanks! After all, thanks to these good people, we can see and do not lower our tails, wings and arms! Thank you!
⠀
Glory to Ukraine! Glory to the nation!
