Funds raised are being used to assist Ukrainian zoos to continue to provide food and care to animals in conditions of relative welfare and safety, as well as providing support for care staff and management at the zoos. We have direct contact with Mykolayiv Zoo, Kharkiv Zoo and Kyiv Zoo, and indirect contact with other zoos via the Association of Zoos of Ukraine (AZU) and the contacts of our Members. Funds are being allocated on the basis of need according to the requests we receive from zoos, and are distributed to recipients through channels subject to reasonable due diligence. A full report on the fund and its use of donations to support Ukrainian zoos is available here.
On behalf of the recipients of your donations, EAZA would like to thank you all for your extraordinary generosity.
We thank all the individuals who have made 11,756 donations so far (see list of names here), as well as the 216 EAZA Members and other organisations worldwide (as of 23 October 2023):

Thanks to your immense generosity, the EAZA Ukraine Zoos Emergency Fund has raised €1,945,011.48! (updated on 23 October 2023)
As the war in Ukraine continues, we are keeping regular contacts with our three Candidates for Membership, as well as with other zoos and aquariums in need.
To this date, more than € 1,750,000 – sometimes in several payments, directly or via the Association of Zoos of Ukraine (AZU, previously UAZA) – has been allocated to the following institutions: Animal exhibition EkZoterra, Askania Nova Reserve, Berdyansk Zoo Safari, Bion Terrarium Center, BioPark Odesa, Cherkasy Zoo, Ecopark Kovalivka, Feldman Ecopark, Home Zoo Center Vasylivka, Kharkiv Zoo, Kyiv Zoo, Limpopo Zoo, Lutsk Zoo, Mena Zoo, Mykolaiv Zoo, Odesa State Zoo, Oscar Dolphinarium network, Pheasant breeding center "Golden Pheasant", Podilsky Zoo, Rivne Zoo, Safari Park on the Arabat Arrow, Vinnica Zoo, Zofia Polczynska Wytwornia Pasz/Vinicca Zoo, Zolotoj Fazan, Zoo XII Months and ZooMir (Bilytske).
Additionally, colleagues at Panda Foundation of Warsaw, Łódź Zoo, Berlin Zoo and Tierpark, Prague, Wrocław, Košice, Gdansk, Tallinn Zoos and other EAZA Members have also arranged trucks that delivered supplies to, at least: XII months, Bilytske, Cherkasy, Feldman Ecopark, Kharkiv, Limpopo, Lutsk, Mykolaiv, Odesa Biopark and Odesa State Zoo, Poltava, Rivne, Vinnytsia Zoos.
Given the war is likely to continue for an unpredictable amount of time, EAZA’s help is still focusing on covering the most immediate needs, as per phase 1 of the funding protocol. Thank you for your continued support!
You can read all of our past published updates by clicking on the dates below:

Money from the EAZA Fund will also be used to combine with these efforts.
