The relocation was conducted by Conservation Solutions, a team of dedicated and respected conservationists who have honed moving techniques so they have little or no impact on the animals. Funding primarily came from the International Fund for Animal Warfare, IFAW, one of the biggest animal welfare charities in the world.
