The Cuban non-governmental organization Aniplant, focused on the protection of plants and animals, announced this Thursday on its social media a new collaboration with the micro, small, and medium-sized enterprise Frankahiros, which will support activists by building small wooden houses for pets.
The NGO stated on Facebook that Frankahiros, a civil construction and new works assembly company, has joined the cause with a commitment to support the construction of wooden houses for pets, which will be distributed through Aniplant to shelters and protectors.
In the statement, Aniplant also explained that the Mipyme will contribute with donations and collaborate in responsible tree felling, ensuring quality and safety according to the species. Additionally, it will organize workshops and contests to promote tree care and environmental protection.
"It is absolutely inspiring to have companies that, although small, aim to grow while collaborating to make the world a better place for plants and animals," stated the NGO, expressing its gratitude and enthusiasm for this partnership.
Animal protectors in Cuba, amid the worst economic crisis in recent decades and particularly due to food shortages, are facing numerous challenges in their activism.
Some have to do with the conditions in which they keep the animals; they often feel overwhelmed by the number of dogs and cats they have. Therefore, alliances of this kind are especially valuable.
On the other hand, in recent years, animal shelters in Cuba have reported a significant increase in the number of abandoned dogs and cats due to the massive exodus of the population and the worsening economic crisis on the island.
This circumstance has compelled animal rights activists to seek solutions and also increase the number of adoptions, as revealed by a recent report from the Associated Press.
