ORLANDO, Fla. – Gatorland Global is stepping up to help Jamaica recover from the devastation caused by Hurricane Melissa, which struck the island as a category five storm earlier this week.

Last spring, the amusement park Gatorland established a nonprofit, Gatorland Global , to increase its reach.

“So Gatorland Global is a 501c3 that works very hard with different communities throughout the world, and also with animals throughout the world to try and protect, conserve and educate about those animals,” International Ambassador for Gatorland Global, Savannah Boan, said.

Now, the nonprofit is focusing on providing much-needed aid to Jamaica, a place Boan frequently visits to collaborate with the Holland Bay Crocodile Sanctuary in St. Thomas and the Hope Zoo in Kingston.
