Over the past three decades, we have cared for more than 25,000 wildlife cases, working closely with citizens, environmental organizations, and public authorities.<\/p>\n
At the start of 2026, over 300 birds are being hosted and in our care, with 50 of them already cared for and to be released.Needs are constantly increasing due to climate change, water shortages, especially during the summer months, and human activities, whether illegal, negligent, or ignorant. In 2026, more than 700 new cases are expected to require treatment – that is, almost two animals every day needing urgent help. <\/p>\n

Why This Campaign Is Needed Now<\/h2>\n
Wildlife rescue is a long-term responsibility that depends on stable resources.
In recent years, Alkioni has experienced:<\/p>\n
- \n
- Receiving an increasing number of emergency cases, particularly from island regions<\/li>\n
- Facing rising costs for transportation, food, medication, and specialized diets for the animals in its care<\/li>\n
- Needing to upgrade its facilities and equipment, always following and maintaining modern standards of care<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
The purpose of this crowdfunding campaign is to secure Alkioni\u2019s operation in 2026 and to strengthen the Center\u2019s capacity to respond effectively to wildlife emergencies. Reliable funding allows us to plan, respond, and maintain high standards of care. <\/p>\n
