Our Centre has also been a reference point for many years for the reception and court custody “fostering” of animals confiscated from third parties. All this is carried out in constant collaboration with the CITES Department of the Italian State Forestry Corps, and with the aid of several Institutes and Centres devoted to Wild Animal Rescue (with these organizations we have also participated in the re-introduction of autochthon fauna into their natural habitat and in several missions to rescue beached cetaceans).
Besides our centre is in continual contact with other parks, organizations and zoos, both at home and abroad, for the exchange of information, rearing techniques and conservation programmes “in situ” and “ex situ” for the rarer species.
