التعقيم هو مفتاح تقليل المعاناة
An excellent video from Neighbourhood cats about TNVRM.
The Vacuum Effect
The Vacuum Effect occurs when a portion of an animal population is permanently removed from their home range. These animals may have been killed or removed by people, a natural disaster, or any other means. The result is a temporary dip in population levels.
To be clear, any such population dip will only be temporary. The initial population lived in that location because there were resources such as shelter, food, and water. Once emptied, this still resource-rich habitat—the vacuum—inevitably attracts other members of the same species from neighbouring areas. They move in to use the same resources that sustained the first group.
Both the new individuals and any remaining members of the original population then reproduce. What’s more, they reproduce at higher rates to fill the habitat and take advantage of the available resources.
Before long, the area fills back up to capacity again, as if the animals were never removed at all.
What can we do?
At the moment we have only 2 people trained in TNVRM for cats in Tabuk. This means we are limited, at the moment, what we can provide hands-on. We can arrange TNVRM assistance from other areas of KSA.
TNVRM for dogs has not yet been conducted in Saudi Arabia. However, with assistance from the community, this can be achieved. Please understand that the ‘R’ in TNVRM stands for return, not relocation and to understand the Vaccum Effect.
We are currently unable to send out a team to do lots of TNVRM across Tabuk. We can, however, discuss with concerned communities how TNVRM can be conducted and offer to co-ordinate TNVRM training and how to become TNVRM self-sufficient.
We are trying to increase our resources and capacity to conduct TNVRM across Tabuk with our own team members..
We are looking at training programs to teach TNVRM. However, any training would involve trainees becoming Tabuk Paws - ATF volunteers and adhering to our guidelines.
