At AAP they receive the professional care needed for their recovery. AAP aims at making the animals mentally and physically healthy and to place them in a more natural environment, such as in a natural enclosure or in a renowned zoo. Parallel to the direct focus on rescue and rehabilitation of animals, AAP has developed activities in advocacy and education as well.
