WISH LIST
Listed is a wish list that I wish I had money for to help us out here.
On-site medical clinic: An on site indoor clinic to better treat injured and sick wildlife, and to be able to quarentine or house them indoors until recovered enough for release or outdoor aviary placement. Estimated cost for construction....600000 pesos or roughly $12,500 US.
240 sq meter Free Flight Aviary:  The aquisition of adjacent 240 sq meter lot and construction of 14ft high cement walls completely covered dome 25 ft high, to allow maximum flight area for the biggest of raptors to exercise them prior to release.. Estimated total cost $21,000 US
4 wheel drive vehicle: to access remote areas for wildlife release. Disabilities prevent me from walking any more than 10 to 15 minutes, and unable to carry more than 10 lbs. This would enable me to go to remote areas in order to ensure the safe release of wildlife. Estimated cost: $2,000 to $4,000 US
Permanent roofing: To put permanent roofing on all enclosures to keep wildlife more dry during inclement weather. Last temporary roofing destroyed by typhoons and useing only tarps now which have to be replaced constantly due to high winds. Estimated cost: $2,000 US
Power Sprayer: To spray and disenfect enclosures. It is being done daily now by hand with scrub brooms. This would speed up daily cleaning and allow an overall better disenfecting process and allow workers to get at the hard to reach places. Estimated cost: $250 US
Binocular Microscope: To be used for the examination of fecal specimens to check for parasites. This is presently being done off compound and is being paid for each time. It is imperative this exam be done on all wildlife entering as quickly as possible to start immediate treatment if needed. Estimated cost: $300 US
