After discussing the desperate animal welfare situation with Haitian officials, WSPA was asked to deploy staff to help with the emergency relief operation ‘as soon as possible’.

In response, Gerardo Huertas, our Director of Disaster Management for the Americas, is expected to be on the ground this Saturday, January 23rd, along with the rest of the ARCH team.
