This year for the very first time, COSMOS LAC has sponsored
various well known and deserved ecological programs
.
The
WWF, Arcturos and the
Greek wild life animal re-habitation center
(EKPAZ
)
are the programs which
Cosmos Lac supports not only on our web site
but also materially
.
Cosmos Lac in total is
:
|
• A Distinguished member of the
WWF. |
 |
| |
|
|
• A member of Arcturos
(of which we also adopted* ´Koukla’). |
 |
| |
|
|
• Member of EKPAZ
(of which we also adopted a Flaminko). |
 |
Our effort is still minimal. With each way possible, we will
strengthen it.
KOUKLA
Koukla was a bear-dancer until 1992 when she
was confiscated from Menidi Attica in the age of seven.
Initially she was admitted in the EKPAZ installations of
Aegina.
She was then transferred to the Veterinary Station (Centre
of Bear Protection) in 1993 where she was also given various
dental treatments to re-establish the health of her
destroyed front teeth.
Koukla is now situated in the Forest Station (Centre of Bear
Protection) where she remains in animal retirement and still
exhibits stereotypical behavior from her cruel days as a
dancing bear.
Nevertheless, she has shown a vast improvement in her
behavior, and for the first time in her life has fallen into
hibernation.
The adoption covers the medical care costs, pharmaceutical
education and the animal diet for one year. It also covers
the relocation costs if need be, to the location of release.
