Vehicle for volunteering catching snakes in Ibiza
Donation protected
Hello, my name is Dean, and I have been volunteering for a few years helping people affected by the presence of snakes in Ibiza. Apart from people being nervous and uneasy, the problem is that the invasive snake is eradicating the population of the endemic lizard on the island.
I’ve volunteered with organizations like Amics de la Terra, but he used my vehicle, so it already has sustained a lot of bodywork damage and even more seriously, has damaged its clutch which needs to be replaced. I have done 23,000 kilometers this summer, and it took out 188 snakes in 2022, 365 snakes in 2021, and I have reassured and helped 100s of people, with great pleasure, but now the bill with the maintenance is too much, and I could do with some help.
In reality would be better to buy a second-hand vehicle, like a Toyota 4x4 pickup, intended for these jobs assisting people with traps in hard-to-reach locations in the countryside and mountains of Ibiza.
I need help with the expenses, especially the maintenance of the vehicle and fuel. If I raise more than I need, the funds will be donated to Friends of the Earth and other similar charitable campaigns.
Thank you for your support and interest!
