Rescuing Animals in Mexico Amidst Drought and Heatwave
Mexico is facing a severe heat wave and drought, impacting wildlife across the country. NGOs are stepping in to rescue suffering birds and other animals. State-run zoos are using innovative methods like air-conditioning for birds of prey and frozen treats for lions.
