Animal SOS has also been taking the lead in confiscating illegally captured birds. With governmental approval we confiscate the birds from those who are illegally selling them and re-release them in the wild. But with the huge problem of poverty in Madagascar we would love to find some way to help these bird-sellers to find alternative (and legal) employment.

We are also involved in providing veterinary services for confiscated lemurs. Many of these lemurs are kept at a government approved private park in Andasibe. Vets regularly visit the animals to make sure that they are in prime condition.
