URGENT PLEA TO OUR FRIENDS AND
SUPPORTERS:
The Gibbon
Conservation Center
needs to begin collecting funds now to purchase property in order to relocate.
Encroaching local development will soon become a very real threat to the health
and well-being of our gibbons. Stress from the sight and noise of construction,
and microorganisms in the dust stirred up in earth moving, pose unacceptable and
lethal dangers.
Such a move will be, by far,
the greatest and most difficult undertaking GCC has ever faced. While
maintaining the facility in its present location, we must find the additional
funds to purchase property, obtain permits, build enclosures, offices and living
space for the director and staff, then move the entire contents of the current
facility. Most importantly, the safety and health of the gibbons during the move
must be carefully planned for and assured. This move will take at least a year
and a half, but we must begin immediately.
Our most urgent need is for at
least 20 usable acres (or the funds to buy) in Los Angeles, Ventura, San Luis
Obispo or Monterey County, or other mild climate more suitable for the gibbons.
Can you help with a donation
of land or any amount of money to help purchase it? All contributions are tax
deductible. Please write us at PO Box 800249, Santa Clarita, CA 91380, call
661-296-2737, or email
info@gibboncenter.org. Thank you!
