About Bonaire Wild Bird Rehab; The mission of this newest nature protection organization on Bonaire is to provide a home for the island’s sick or injured birds. Hugo Abrahamse is a zookeeper in Artis Zoo, Amsterdam and he wants to raise these fund to ship special flamingo food from Amsterdam, Netherlands to Bonaire. 

Helping flamingos in need.
Sadly, the first huge challenge of the new center is already a fact, as hundreds of chicks and juveniles of Bonaire’s national bird, the American Flamingo, are leaving their sanctuary prematurely and walking around the island as they are severely dehydrated and undernourished. The reasons why this is occurring in 2018 are thus far unclear, but the rehab center has received well over 150 young flamingos in the last 10 weeks. A cry for help for cages and food was shared nearly 600 times on Facebook and led to a huge response from people around the world, eager to bring food or donate funds for much-needed supplies.

With your help we can make sure a lot of flamingoes and other birds have a good start before they will be introduced back into the wild!
