From Around The World

Veterinary Advances for Wildlife

Since 1965, we have invested $27 million in more than 690 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.

Researchers will evaluate the combined effects of winter ticks and other parasitic infections on moose survival in Maine and generate a model to predict its ongoing impact on moose populations.

Assessing the Impact of Underwater Noise on Endangered Dolphins

Researchers will evaluate the acoustic response of both Indo-Pacific humpback dolphins and Irrawaddy dolphins to underwater noise levels in two sites in Northwest Peninsular Malaysia.
