Project Summary
This WSPA intervention with its member societies has offered immediate veterinary health care for the animals which are affected by the earthquake in Padang, Pariaman and Padang Pariaman districts of West Sumatra province.
This operation was facilitated with the livestock department of West Sumatra and the respective district livestock authorities at local level in the earthquake area.
This gave the opportunity for the staff trained in disaster response from the member societies Profauna and Yudisthira, to work alongside the government to support animals and the community in the disaster.
The WSPA led team has distributed aid in the form of emergency feed and mineral blocks as energy supplements for the animals to support them in overcoming the stress due to normal care practices being disturbed.
