Veterinary Irene Lopez carries a Halcon Peregrino (Falco Peregrinus) after being treated from a broken wing at GREFA hospital on March 16, 2017 in Majadahonda, near Madrid, Spain. The GREFA (Group of Rehabilitation of the Native Fauna and its Habitat) started in 1981, and has since treated over 40,000 animals, with 5600 last year. It is believed to be the largest group of its kind in Europe, treating endangered species like Black Vultures or Golden Eagles, or smaller birds, reptiles or other native species. Their aim is to release them back to their habitats, but when this is not possible the patients may be sent to fauna reserves, zoos or facilities for educational purposes.

A baby Komodo Dragon dried at Taman Safari Indonesia conservation and recreational parks, on March 13, 2017 in West Java, Indonesia. Twenty-six eggs from one Female Komodo dragon name Ricca, 19, and Male Rangga, 19, were placed in incubation at Taman Safari, batch in 17 August 2016. On March 2 to March 12, 2017 as much twenty-one Komodo dragons have hatched, all under a breeding programme. Five eggs is fail to hatch. A success story that raises hope for the endangered lizard. The hatchlings were the result of a breeding programme that begins with incubation and involves protecting the young from predatory cannibalistic adult dragons. Komodo dragons, the world's largest lizards, can reach around three metres (10 feet) in length and 70 kilograms (154 pounds) in weight and are endemic to a cluster of islands in eastern Indonesia. They are also popular at zoo exhibits around the world. The species is considered vulnerable, with around 3.012 left in the wild. Although deadly attacks are rare, several Komodo dragons have clashed with humans in recent years, the latest victim an Indonesian tour guide who was in last year bitten on the calf in the Komodo National Park.

Atila, a trained therapeutic greyhound used to treat patients with mental health issues and learning difficulties, falls asleep as it gets caressed by three patients at Benito Menni health facility in Elizondo, northern Spain, February 13, 2017. Tucked away in Spain's Pyrenees mountains, patients at psychiatric facility Benito Menni stretch out across floor mats and stroke greyhound puppies Atila and Argi. Puppy love is part of the treatment for conditions such as schizophrenia. The facility, based in a town near the border with France, uses the dogs to help patients with intellectual disabilities and mental health conditions develop social skills and a sense of autonomy. Alongside misty views of green rolling mountains, petting sessions with the eight-month-old puppies have a calming effect serving as an emotional outlet for patients who struggle to connect with others. Playing with those who are more active and sitting still with those who find moving a daily challenge, the dogs tailor their behaviour according to the needs of their patient.
