Mission

Jethro

The primary objective of the Fauna Foundation is to create a protected environment for neglected, abused farm and domestic animals and former biomedical research chimpanzees.

It also aims, through education, to foster a better understanding of the animals.

Intensive Artificial Breeding

Public outreach and education is an integral part of the Fauna mission, and has been made all the more important since we received the decision of the Quebec Commission for the Protection of Agricultural Land declaring that no more new exotic residents may be added. This prevents us from rescuing more individuals but it does not prevent us from making every effort to share what we know and what we learn more about each day, concerning of factory farming and other areas of abuse.

Through individual and group visits to Fauna, we create a forum for information and education. Our residents are living testaments of the effects of standard intensive farming practices on animals. Making this information and experience available to visitors from schools and other interested groups, we share our concerns about the need for greater legal and ethical protections for animals and the environment. With our residents and their individual stories, we hope, most of all, to inspire greater compassion.

FAUNA AND FLORAL

One of the core values of the Fauna Foundation’s mission is a deeply felt concern for environmental issues. Arising as much from shared and deeply held beliefs as from the necessity to offer sanctuary residents a protected habitat in which they can thrive, this awareness has led to the Fauna land being designated as a Natural Reserve by the Québec government, under the name « Réserve naturelle du Ruisseau-Robert ». Our land management program strives, among other things, to increase local bird populations.
