Prominent godmother for sloth Katrin: Nora Seitz is involved in the zoo!

Chemnitz, Deutschland - The sloth Katrin found a prominent godmother in the Chemnitz zoo. The member of the Bundestag Nora Seitz (CDU) took over the sponsorship for the popular sloth lady on Friday. Her visit, which took place in the tropical house of the zoo, was accompanied by Mayor Knut Kunze. Seitz was enthusiastic about the animal and its charming name, which certainly also contributed to their decision, as [Blick.de] (https://www.blick.de/chemnitz/bundesagemn-nora-seez-uebernt- fuer-faultier-im-tierpark-chemnitz-artikel13857387).

Katrin, who rests in her three -meter -high box, always draws the eyes of the visitors. So it was on Friday when several interested parties stopped in front of their open area in the tropical house. The mayor himself had proposed the sloth for sponsorship, which Seitz received very positively. For the MP, this is not only a personal commitment, but also a step to support species protection, which is more important than ever today, as can be seen from a technical discussion of the Bundestag on the topic of ex-situ-like protection, where the role of such sponsorships was discussed as important support in the animal conservation program, as was the focus of such sponsorships, as can be discussed today. bundesag.de explained.

commitment to species protection

The sponsorship was made possible by the association "TierparkFreunde" and is part of a larger initiative that focuses on species protection. Tierparks play a crucial role in this, since they not only contribute to the entertainment of the visitors, but also act as research and conservation centers for endangered species. Jörg Junhold, director of the Zoological Garden Leipzig, emphasizes the need for cooperation between zoos and private breeders. Many animal species have already been saved through ex-situations, and these approaches are essential these days to counteract the destruction of habitats, as can be seen from the discussions in the Committee on the Environment and Nature Conservation.

The importance of sponsorships is therefore visible in a wider context. They help to sharpen the awareness of species protection and actively contribute to the preservation of endangered species. Nora Seitz also plans further visits to the zoo, which indicates that its commitment beyond sponsorship and strives for an ongoing exchange with the zoo and its goals.

A duly step in the right direction in order to provide a voice and the necessary support not only Katrin, but also many other animals in the zoo. The Chemnitz zoo relies on such initiatives in order to strengthen awareness of species protection in society and continue to inspire visitors for the beauty and diversity of the wildlife. It remains exciting to see how this commitment will develop.
