Vieraile ja Välität ry – Donate and Support the Conservation of Endangered Animals

The aim of the Vieraile ja Välität (“Visit and Care”) organization is to support, both in spirit and financially, the conservation of rare and endangered animal species and educational efforts to raise nature and conservation awareness. For example, you can support the conservation of pandas by participating in our fundraising to continue the panda conservation program’s work in Finland. Lumi and Pyry thank everyone for the support!

The funds that we raise are used to support the conservation of rare and endangered animal species and educational efforts to raise nature and conservation awareness. The funds are spent on conservation programs and projects that protect endangered animal species as well as projects that reintroduce animals to the wild. The funds raised will go towards supporting research on animal conservation and purchasing research equipment and experts’ help. The funds will also be used to organize education, guidance, environmental education, and cooperation with educational institutions as well as to raise awareness. The funds can be used to cover, as part of the abovementioned functions, the production costs for materials, such as the cost of design, layout, printing, digital presentation, and expert services for environmental education.
