Devastating flooding in Brazil’s southernmost state, Rio Grande do Sul, since 29 April has left over 120 people dead and forced more than 100,000 people to evacuate.
The IFAW-supported team from Tamanduás Institute, has arrived in Rio Grande do Sul to give emergency support to local animal search and rescue efforts in the hardest-hit communities. But the situation is one of uncertainty and fear. Floodwaters are still rising in some areas. Every day brings new reports of water and power shortages.
Through our support to Tamanduás Institute, we are giving an emergency grant to the Pantanal Technical Animal Rescue Group GRETAP. The grant will help mobilise their animal search and rescue in the area and veterinary first responders on the ground.
