Las actividades programadas para el evento incluyeron un bingo, varias rifas, actividades educativas para ni\u00f1os, un mercado de artesan\u00edas y un pintacaritas a cargo de voluntarias de la asociaci\u00f3n. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hubo stands de diversas organizaciones locales que tambi\u00e9n trabajan en el \u00e1mbito de la biodiversidad y el medio ambiente como son\u00a0 CIRENAS<\/a>, Refugio de Vida Silvestre Romelia<\/a>, Covirena (Comit\u00e9 de vigilancia de los recursos naturales), COLAC-AMMCB (Consejo Local-Area Marina de Manejo Cabo Blanco), Wild Sun Rescue Center<\/a>, Mantas de Costa Rica<\/a> and Nicoya Pen\u00ednsula Waterkeeper.<\/a> Todos actores clave en la conservaci\u00f3n, observaci\u00f3n, vigilancia y rescate de animales y su h\u00e1bitat.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Los cientos de asistentes fueron prueba del compromiso de la comunidad con la fauna silvestre y la naturaleza y entre todos lograron recaudar m\u00e1s de 1,700 d\u00f3lares con la compra de cartones de bingo y papeletas para las rifas cuyos premios fueron donados por 70 negocios locales. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Estos fondos ser\u00e1n utilizados por Somos Congos para continuar con sus proyectos de prevenci\u00f3n y mitigaci\u00f3n de accidentes de fauna y para rescates de fauna accidentada en el distrito de C\u00f3bano. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

La principal amenaza que el mono congo enfrenta actualmente en la zona es la fragmentaci\u00f3n y p\u00e9rdida de su h\u00e1bitat, lo cual les deja sin alimento y refugio y, adem\u00e1s, los expone a peligros como son los cables el\u00e9ctricos sin aislamiento.\u00a0

The first Wildlife Festival raised more than $1,700<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last Saturday, December 2, the community of the C\u00f3bano district celebrated the First Wildlife Festival organized by Somos Congos<\/a>. Somos Congos is a local non-profit association that works for the protection of the howler monkey and its habitat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The activities scheduled for the event included bingo, several raffles, educational activities for children, a craft market and a face painting by volunteers from the association.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There were stands from various local organizations that also work in the field of biodiversity and environment such as CIRENAS<\/a>, Romelia Wildlife Refuge<\/a>, Covirena (Natural Resources Surveillance Committee), COLAC-AMMCB (Local Council-Marine Area of Management Cabo Blanco), Wild Sun Rescue Center<\/a>, Mantas de Costa Rica <\/a>and Nicoya Peninsula Waterkeeper.<\/a> All of them are key actors in the conservation, observation, surveillance and rescue of animals and their habitat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The hundreds of attendees were proof of the community’s commitment to wildlife and nature and together they managed to raise more than $1,700 by purchasing bingo cards and raffle tickets whose prizes were donated by 70 local businesses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These funds will be used by Somos Congos to continue with its wildlife accident prevention and mitigation projects and for rescues of injured wildlife in the C\u00f3bano district.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The main threat that the howler monkey currently faces in the area is the fragmentation and loss of its habitat, which leaves them without food and shelter and, in addition, exposes them to dangers such as uninsulated electrical lines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
