Leyla Aliyeva and Arzu Aliyeva visited Altyagaj National Park

Vice President of the Heydar Aliyev Foundation, founder and head of IDEA Public Union Leyla Aliyeva and head of Baku Media Center Arzu Aliyeva, during their visit to Khizi district, participated in the foundation-laying ceremony for the reconstruction of the Wildlife Rehabilitation Center located in Altyagaj National Park.

As reported by BAKU.WS, necessary conditions will be created here for returning rehabilitated wild animals, especially bears, to their natural habitat. The center will conduct veterinary examinations of animals, physical rehabilitation processes, behavioral recovery programs in stages, and special dietary regimens. These processes ensure that animals will be released into their natural habitat only after they are fully ready.

Later, with the participation of Leyla Aliyeva and Arzu Aliyeva, wild birds that had undergone a long rehabilitation process and fully recovered at the Baku Zoological Park were released into the wild in the territory of Altyagaj National Park. Among the released birds were two marsh harriers and one white-tailed eagle. These birds of prey were found by local residents in a weakened and injured state and transferred to the Baku Zoological Park. At the zoo, under specialist supervision, the birds underwent complete rehabilitation and were brought to a condition suitable for their natural habitat. The release of birds into the wild after rehabilitation is important for restoring balance in the ecosystem and preserving biodiversity.

IDEA Public Union appealed to citizens, noting that keeping wild animals in domestic conditions leads to weakened biodiversity, disruption of natural balance, and creates a serious threat to animal life. Such cases not only cause wild animals to lose their natural instincts, experience stress and aggressive behavior, but also create potential danger to human life. At the same time, citizens are asked to report to the Baku Zoological Park hotline - (012) 440-10-96 when discovering weakened or injured wild animals for their rehabilitation.
