Description
As part of the project, we will monitor how municipalities implement tasks related to counteracting animal homelessness. Our goal is to improve the quality of implemented activities and disseminate good practices in terms of preventing animal homelessness, improving safety of residents and protecting biodiversity. The monitoring will collect information on the functioning of municipal programmes of care for homeless animals. Data will be gathered through access to public information, as well as from local NGOs and activists dealing with animal care. In addition, we will check the conditions at animal shelters and clinics cooperating with the municipalities on a contractual basis. Together with local organisations and external experts, we will develop proposals for changes in the way homeless animals are cared about. These proposals will be submitted in the form of applications, petitions or resolution initiatives to the municipal authorities. The project will contribute to the reduction of negative phenomena and prevention of animal homelessness. We will disseminate good practices concerning both the programmes of care for homeless animals and their implementation. Thanks to this project the cooperation between local NGOs and animal activists will also be improved.
