Moving them requires months of training, custom slings, padded crates, and vet-trainer teams to ensure safety during truck-to-airplane transport. After arrival, they’ll quarantine before settling into enriched habitats—no wild release possible, since they’re captive-born. This is their best shot at a healthier, more natural life.
