Denver Zoo's Amy Levine travels to Vietnam this month to continue efforts to save Tonkin snub-nosed monkeys and Asian elephants. Levine has been working with members of two other institutions to learn more about the most imminent threats to the only known viable population of Tonkin snub-nosed monkeys in Vietnam's northern-most province, Ha Giang. She also will be finalizing plans to deliver a summer program that seeks to form a deeper connection between local people and the monkeys. Later, Levine will travel south to Vinh Cuu Nature Reserve to begin researching how Denver Zoo may be able to help with Vietnam's conservation action plan for Asian elephants. This will include addressing human-wildlife conflict and raising local awareness about elephant conservation issues.
“Wag’N” Donates pet masks
Carol Monaco, with Marketwise Insights, Inc., recently nominated Greater Brighton Fire to receive pet oxygen masks through a company called Wag’N. Brighton Fire was selected and Wag’N has donated pet O2 masks through a program called “O2 Fur Life” that provides the necessary equipment for pet rescue breathing. Greater Brighton Fire is one of only 14 fire departments in the State who have received pet O2 masks through this program. Five kits were donated through the program, which provides for one set of three masks for each of our five fire stations. Each kit contains three masks of different sizes for various size pets. The kits have been placed on the fire engines and crews have been trained in using the masks. Thank you to Carol and Wag’N for the generous donation.
