From Around The World

Veterinary Advances for Wildlife

Since 1965, we have invested $28 million in more than 710 wildlife health studies. We’ve contributed to improved reproduction strategies for endangered species, identified the impact of environmental toxins on wildlife, and established in-the-field medical care for the mountain gorillas of Rwanda. We also fight wildlife health crises, with support from our Betty White Wildlife Fund.

Evaluating Health and Conservation Consequences of Hybrid African Elephants

Researchers will assess the prevalence of hybrid elephants (naturally interbred African forest and savanna elephants) and how their health compares to their parental species.

Evaluating Toxin Risk to Egyptian Vultures

Researchers will investigate whether Egyptian vultures could be exposed to harmful toxins derived from veterinary products through consumption of livestock feces.
