Some of Our Wildlife Studies

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.

Optimizing Outcomes for Bushfire-Impacted Wildlife

Researchers will develop evidence-based guidelines to facilitate triage and treatment of bushfire-affected marsupials to better prepare for future Australian bushfire seasons.

Improving In-Field Care for Eastern Black Rhinoceros

Researchers will investigate methods to decrease stress and associated health and welfare complications during immobilization and translocation of eastern black rhinoceros.
