Die Nordreportage: The Wildlife-Savior
Small rabbits, martens, owls, squirrels, foxes or deer — in spring, the settling season begins in nature. For Julia Linz, that means pure stress. In Verden, in the middle of a residential area, she runs a voluntary sanctuary for sick or orphaned wild animals.
Between 400 and 500 orphaned or sick animals come to the Verden wildlife center every year. Julia Linz then feeds them back to health and, ideally, releases them back into the wild. Our camera team accompanied them and their protégés for almost a year. “The Northern Reportage” shows why squirrels need a stomach massage after drinking, why e.g. deer are not allowed to drink cow’s milk and why you can’t simply take animals found in the forest with you.
