This sum includes the cost of the seedling, its transport, and the remuneration received by the person who will replant it on site.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>In return, the sponsor receives, if they wish, a symbolic adoption certificate, as well as the possibility of receiving news by email on the progress of the planting.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Different species have been selected to ensure the success of this program:<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\r\n<li>many conifers, because on them grows an orange lichen allowing the red pandas to camouflage themselves during the day;<\/li>\r\n<li>Himalayan birch trees, as their bark crumbles naturally, it will be used to make paper;<\/li>\r\n<li>obviously varieties of bamboo, to ensure a suitable diet for the pandas;<\/li>\r\n<li>but also rhododendrons, shrubs, bushes, etc., so that all the local fauna can benefit from these environments.<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>In 2019, our first \"AuA\" campaign sponsored the equivalent of two hectares! These plants were transported by RPN teams and planted by the residents of Patmara.

In the absence of management measures, stray dogs therefore appear to be one of the main threats to the red panda, it is therefore urgent to intervene at this level.<\/p>\r\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery columns-2 is-cropped\">\r\n<figure><\/figure>\r\n<\/figure>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>To this end, the RPN wanted to set up a campaign to capture stray dogs in order to sterilise and vaccinate them.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Neutering not only limits reproduction in these animals, but also lowers aggression. In the absence of puppies, females feel less pressure. As for males, castration limits testosterone levels and therefore reduces unwanted behavior.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Vaccines, on the other hand, provide multiple protection, since in addition to being beneficial for the dogs concerned, they also protect local populations and, of course, wildlife, by preventing the spread of diseases.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Our association therefore wanted to provide assistance in carrying out this large-scale campaign, particularly from a material perspective. We listed the equipment needs and organized a collection with our partners in France.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Animal park veterinarians have been very supportive of this logistical help by sending us tools adapted to our needs:<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\r\n<li>harnesses and leashes for restraints<\/li>\r\n<li>medical equipment: gas tape, compresses, ophthalmic solutions, haemostatic powders, post-operative dressings.<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>For this, we would like to thank Rosemary, veterinarian at the animal park Le Pal, who organised the collection of material!<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>In 2019, the early stages of the campaign have already resulted in the effective vaccination of almost 700 dogs.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Collaboration_aupres_des_populations_locales\"><\/span><strong>Working with local people<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>It is important to understand that the association works to protect the red panda in its habitat in full collaboration with the inhabitants of the sites concerned.
