LPA Calais Centre de soins faune sauvage

The LPA Calais Centre de Soins Faune Sauvage opened in 2011. It is located in Northern France, at the British border and near Belgium. The centre is equipped with good quality facilities including indoor and outdoor pools, birdhouses, reptile houses, quarantine areas... Those facilities enable the rescue centre to look after +1000 birds, 65 to 70 common and grey seals a year , hundreds of hedgehogs and many more species... every year. Most of the seals admitted to the centre are young (less than one year old). We usually rescue pups which have been abandoned by their mothers or older ones that are injured (fishing equipment) or suffer from parasites, viruses... They are tended to at the centre until they are fit enough to be released. They are first placed in the quarantine zone and are then transferred to the outdoor pool where they stay until they are able to feed on their own. All types of birds enter the centre because they are injured (common birds, sea birds, exotic birds, parrots, birds of prey such as owls, short or long-eared owls....).
