(9 years ago)Hundreds of wild dogs who grew up in a wild country of the so-called Dead Dog Beachão in Portorico tragically died in the violent storm, unlike the macaw monkeys in nearby Monkey Island, who all survived. Before the stroke of Hurricane Maria, dogs crossed a designated area in the southwest part of [...]
Before the hurricane struck, the dogs moved to a designated area on the southwestern part of the island in Yabucoa, after many were thrown by their owners, who could no longer care for them, reported “Mail”, the Periscope broadcast.
Before the storm, Christina Beckles from New York created a non-profit organization called the <x0 project. Sato” where she and others worked to save the puppys and take care of them.
But Beckles, who flew to Puerto Rico immediately after the disaster that left 3.4 million people without electricity, essential services and drinking water to help her staff, learned that the dogs she had worked with had died.
“As soon as hugs and tears arrived, the first thing we all wanted to do was go to the beach looking for our wild dogs”, she wrote on Facebook.
Unfortunately, we did not find them and our hearts are heavy with reality when they see complete destruction on the beach they did not survive”, she added.
As Beckles deals with this tragedy, another team of people who care about Puerto Rico macaw monkeys are happy to report that these animals have miraculously survived the storm.
The small island of Cayo Santiago, which is located off the eastern coast of Puerto Rico, is home to about 1,000 macacus-rehesus monkeys, reported The Atlantic.
The island “Monkey Islandes” where they live has been destroyed, according to New York University's Jim Highman, who is one of the researchers who has worked with the primat for years.
He discussed ahead and behind satellite images, showing how the island's vegetation was destroyed by the storm.
The island is completely destroyed, Highham said to the Atlantic “The 87x1>.
“There is a lot of damage to the vegetation and the entire infrastructure has disappeared”, he stressed.
Researchers have created a “initiative GoFundMe” to collect money for the rescue of primats.
Researchers from a number of international universities are working together to save an invaluable scientific resource that has been severely damaged by the hurricane, Mariaao Ape of Rhesus, who live on a remote island, and personnel who facilitate their support have gone to the fund site.
Puss monkeys are usually found in Southeast Asia.
In 1938, however, 406 primat were transported to the island for scientists to do research and are now among the best - studied groups of monkeys on the planet./Periscopi/
