Urban Fauna: The City's Invisible Animals

Today’s podcast episode invites listeners to dive into stories of care and the preservation of animal life, connecting two initiatives that exemplify different forms of environmental and social engagement. On one side, the APC Cabo de São Roque, dedicated to the conservation of sea turtles, shares challenges, discoveries, and strategies to protect endangered species along our beaches. On the other, the VETMóvel, which brings health and well-being to dogs and cats, shows how responsible neutering and care for domestic animals strengthen urban coexistence and help prevent public health issues. In this episode, we hear directly from the protagonists of these projects as they share their experiences, motivations, and the tangible impact of their actions on both the community and the environment. The podcast’s narrative transforms each story into a sensory learning experience, where listening becomes an act of connection—with with the fauna, with the territory, and with our shared responsibility. More than presenting projects, this episode is an invitation to reflection and action, encouraging listeners to realize that protecting animals—whether wild or domestic—is a gesture of care for the planet and for society, making daily life more conscious, ethical, and sustainable.
