The Wildlife Friends Foundation Thailand which has more than 800 animals, usually relies on volunteers but now has only one.

The Wildlife Friends Foundation Thailand aims to rescue animals that are dumped or exploited in Thailand, but the organisation is suffering amid coronavirus restrictions.

Wiek recently spent fours days and nights in a cage that was once home to chimpanzees to raise $25,000 to help feed animals and assist those awaiting the foundation's care. Thailand received a record 39.8 million tourists in 2019, but with borders closed, the country expects only 8 million this year. The economy could post the biggest contraction since 1998.

Rhi Menmuir, 22, has been at the sanctuary for seven months and helps prepare animal food twice a day.
