Bears, predatory cats, wolves, primates, or bats are taken care of and many of them are able to recover thanks to the intensive care of the animal protection team. In some cases, wild animals native to Florida can even be released into the wild again.<br>Furthermore, the animal protection center welcomes groups of visitors on a regular basis to raise awareness of the threats the animals face and to share their knowledge about their keeping and handling.<\/p>\n<p>In order for the project to still exist in the future and for the animals to keep their refuge, there is a need for not only financial support but especially for the help of engaged workers. The involvement of voluntary helpers is crucial for the continued existence of this worthwhile project. The German agency NATUCATE is also committed to its continuation \u2013 therefore, they make an effort in finding volunteers who want to support the project.<\/p>\n\n<style>.kb-row-layout-id_a37fb9-78 > .kt-row-column-wrap{align-content:start;}:where(.kb-row-layout-id_a37fb9-78 > .kt-row-column-wrap) > .wp-block-kadence-column{justify-content:start;}.kb-row-layout-id_a37fb9-78 > .kt-row-column-wrap{column-gap:var(--global-kb-gap-md, 2rem);row-gap:var(--global-kb-gap-md, 2rem);padding-top:var(--global-kb-spacing-sm, 1.5rem);padding-bottom:var(--global-kb-spacing-sm, 1.5rem);grid-template-columns:repeat(2, minmax(0, 1fr));}.kb-row-layout-id_a37fb9-78 > .kt-row-layout-overlay{opacity:0.30;}@media all and (max-width: 1024px){.kb-row-layout-id_a37fb9-78 > .kt-row-column-wrap{grid-template-columns:repeat(2, minmax(0, 1fr));}}@media all and (max-width: 767px){.kb-row-layout-id_a37fb9-78 > .kt-row-column-wrap{grid-template-columns:minmax(0, 1fr);}}<\/style><div class=\"kb-row-layout-wrap kb-row-layout-id_a37fb9-78 alignnone wp-block-kadence-rowlayout\"><div class=\"kt-row-column-wrap kt-has-2-columns kt-row-layout-equal kt-tab-layout-inherit kt-mobile-layout-row kt-row-valign-top\">\n<style>.kadence-column_dc12a1-63 > .kt-inside-inner-col,.kadence-column_dc12a1-63 > .kt-inside-inner-col:before{border-top-left-radius:0px;border-top-right-radius:0px;border-bottom-right-radius:0px;border-bottom-left-radius:0px;}.kadence-column_dc12a1-63 > .kt-inside-inner-col{column-gap:var(--global-kb-gap-sm, 1rem);}.kadence-column_dc12a1-63 > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;}.kadence-column_dc12a1-63 > .kt-inside-inner-col > .aligncenter{width:100%;}.kadence-column_dc12a1-63 > .kt-inside-inner-col:before{opacity:0.3;}.kadence-column_dc12a1-63{position:relative;}@media all and (max-width: 1024px){.kadence-column_dc12a1-63 > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;justify-content:center;}}@media all and (max-width: 767px){.kadence-column_dc12a1-63 > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;justify-content:center;}}<\/style>\n<div class=\"wp-block-kadence-column kadence-column_dc12a1-63\"><div class=\"kt-inside-inner-col\"><div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/tierschutzstiftung-boesche.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/usa10-400x200-1.jpg?resize=483%2C242&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-491\" width=\"483\" height=\"242\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/tierschutzstiftung-boesche.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/usa10-400x200-1.jpg?w=400&amp;ssl=1 400w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/tierschutzstiftung-boesche.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/usa10-400x200-1.jpg?resize=300%2C150&amp;ssl=1 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 483px) 100vw, 483px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n<style>.kadence-column_16b9ff-5f > .kt-inside-inner-col,.kadence-column_16b9ff-5f > .kt-inside-inner-col:before{border-top-left-radius:0px;border-top-right-radius:0px;border-bottom-right-radius:0px;border-bottom-left-radius:0px;}.kadence-column_16b9ff-5f > .kt-inside-inner-col{column-gap:var(--global-kb-gap-sm, 1rem);}.kadence-column_16b9ff-5f > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;}.kadence-column_16b9ff-5f > .kt-inside-inner-col > .aligncenter{width:100%;}.kadence-column_16b9ff-5f > .kt-inside-inner-col:before{opacity:0.3;}.kadence-column_16b9ff-5f{position:relative;}@media all and (max-width: 1024px){.kadence-column_16b9ff-5f > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;justify-content:center;}}@media all and (max-width: 767px){.kadence-column_16b9ff-5f > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;justify-content:center;}}<\/style>\n<div class=\"wp-block-kadence-column kadence-column_16b9ff-5f\"><div class=\"kt-inside-inner-col\"><div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/tierschutzstiftung-boesche.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/usa12-372x200-1.jpg?resize=482%2C259&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-492\" width=\"482\" height=\"259\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/tierschutzstiftung-boesche.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/usa12-372x200-1.jpg?w=372&amp;ssl=1 372w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/tierschutzstiftung-boesche.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/usa12-372x200-1.jpg?resize=300%2C161&amp;ssl=1 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 482px) 100vw, 482px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<p>Support by Tierschutz-Stiftung Wolfgang B\u00f6sche<\/p>\n<p>The board of Tierschutz-Stiftung Wolfgang B\u00f6sche decided to support the animal protection center after reading an extensive report about the project\u2019s work by NATUCATE.<br>Since October 2017 they award a chosen volunteer with a scholarship. This volunteer has the chance to preserve the shelter in a four-week voluntary service on site by preparing food, feeding the animals, cleaning out and maintaining the enclosures and the area, and helping out with the veterinary care. Simultaneously, the volunteer will get an insight in the daily business of a non-profit animal protection center and will gain valuable practical skills.<\/p>\n<p>The volunteer is provided with on-site accommodation, a house consisting of shared rooms and a shared bathroom and kitchen.<br>Furthermore, Tierschutz-Stiftung Wolfgang B\u00f6sche decided to provide the project with a donation in kind that benefits the renovation of the existing facilities, especially the expansion of the lemur enclosers.<br>We would like to thank Tierschutz-Stiftung Wolfgang B\u00f6sche for contributing to the continuation of this project through this wonderful support!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Scholarship 2018<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>For the year 2018, the scholarship for the animal protection project in Florida was awarded to Kim, a 19-year old student from Leverkusen.<br>Kim is currently doing a school-based education to become a graphic design assistant and is on her way to do her \u2018Fachabitur\u2019, the German equivalent for a vocational baccalaureate diploma.<br>She has a great love for animals and grew up with cats, dogs, and other small animals. Animal protection is a matter of heart for Kim and according to her \u201cit shouldn\u2019t be inferior to the protection of humans. Every person should develop awareness for the worth of non-human life.\u201d The chance to work as a volunteer in Florida is something very special for Kim. \u201cSo far, this possibility wasn\u2019t realizable without support.<br>Thanks to Tierschutz-Stiftung Wolfgang B\u00f6sche I now get the chance to travel to the USA and gain an insight in the work of an animal protection center.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI am excited to learn more about the individual care of the different animals and look forward to providing them with a safe refuge and to seeing them happy.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>During her stay in Florida, Kim is going to write a blog about her experiences in the project and will thus allow us to partake in her adventure. In the course of Kim\u2019s time in the United States this \u2018travel journal\u2019 is going to be published on the homepage of Tierschutz-Stiftung Wolfgang B\u00f6sche. In her free time Kim likes to skateboard, to draw and to photograph.<\/p>\n<p><strong>About NATUCATE<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The German agency NATUCATE, located in the city of Aachen, is specialized on educational stays abroad in connection with voluntary service in nature, animal, or species protection projects.<\/p>\n<p>In accordance with the agency\u2019s name that is composed of the words \u201cnature\u201d and \u201cto educate\u201d, NATUCATE wants to combine nature and education.
