These gentle creatures have been ravaged by man-made and natural disasters and need our help.

In 2023, nearly 600 wild manatees passed away in Florida alone. Most of these deaths occurred due to starvation. Wildlife centers and aquariums that rehabilitate manatees in distress are essential to preserving the threatened population and rely on community support to continue their incredible work.

Zamboni and Yeti, two juvenile manatees, were receiving critical care for malnutrition and extreme weight loss at an aquarium when the hurricanes hit. Manatees need to consume 10-20% of their body weight daily, yet threats like pollution, harmful algal blooms, and declining water quality make survival increasingly challenging. Greater Good Charities partners with wildlife rescues to help maintain and renovate their facilities, as well as provide essential supplies for the animals in their care.
