In the midst of the poisons, the little anteater would therefore neither find a suitable partner nor be able to start a family.

A total of almost 50,000 euros will be needed for the 8.4 ha area. Our association can cover part of the funds from reserves. We need to raise at least 10,000 euros in donations in the near future.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #800000;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.betterplace.org\/de\/projects\/36425-ameisenbar-sucht-frau-werde-zum-wingman\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Help secure the population of the little anteater in the region!
