And now, it seems that another zoo also desperately needs our help to maintain its facility and the upkeep of its animals.

Various uses for the fund

Zoo Melaka is pleading for the public to come forward and donate to the zoo as they are facing financial difficulties following the zoo’s closure due to the Movement Control Order (MCO).

“Due to the cost incurred and no income through ticketing, we would like to ask fellow animal enthusiast to help us during this trying times,” the zoo said in a statement.

Besides food, the fund will also be used to purchase medication to treat affected animals.

Zoo Melaka, however, will not offer adoption programs such as Zoo Negara via its donation drive.

So, let’s do our part and help our animal friends by donating to the zoo’s CIMB account – 8009600869 (ZOO MPHTJ).
