The great involvement in this “virtual” edition will lead to solidarity, through the BIOPARC Foundation, to protect rhinos. In addition, this first weekend of November the “with a cause” promotion begins BIOweekends and the park's free activities are resumed.
La Can-rrera was born 9 years ago with the aim of commemorating World Animal Day and today we can say that society is evolving towards empathy with the rest of the living beings with which we share the planet. But there's still too much to do. In this sense, due to the complicated health circumstances, it was decided to maintain this important celebration in a “virtual” format. The participation of nearly 200 people confirms the commitment to this charitable action that allocates the funds, through BIOPARC Foundation, to the international organization Save the Rhino, and his Rhino Dog Squad, a “squadron” of specially trained dogs to help detect and pursue poachers. But we should be grateful not only for this solidarity, but also for the love towards animals that has been shown in each of the images that the participants have sent.
BIOPARC reinforces its commitment to animal welfare and this weekend begins BIOweekends, promotion “with a cause” in which every Saturday and Sunday of this month you can obtain 1.000 tickets at a price of €15+€1 for purchases only on the park's website. Every +€1 will be dedicated to the defense of bats, the most emblematic species for Valencians and which is in danger.
Also, this Saturday resume free activities that take place throughout the day and that all visitors will be able to enjoy during the weekends. Proposals highly valued by families such as “Good morning giraffes”, “Meetings with caregivers”, “Amboseli Trips”, “Explore” or the educational exhibition “The cycle of life” that complement the tour of the different habitats from BIOPARC.
