Why fundraising is so important for the animals

 

Why is fundraising so important for the animals? Simply put, because we can’t afford to lose sight of the need for research for them, too. 

During this uncertain time of COVID, the rapidly changing environment, conflicts near and far, and other catastrophes – natural and created by humans, Wild Animal Health Fund knows one thing for absolute certain, the animals STILL need our help.  

Zoo and wildlife veterinarians and specialists have not given up on the animals in managed care or the wild.  And they won’t. Nor will Wild Animal Health Fund. And this is why we feel fundraising is more important now than ever.

From detecting Endotheliotropic Herpesvirus in wild African elephants, or identifying biomarkers for Mycobacterium bovis infections in cheetahs and leopards, to studying industrial disturbances in migrating whooping cranes, Wild Animal Health Fund is here to help these specialists help the animals.  

With so many pieces of the puzzle still out of place, we cannot lose sight that the animals are in peril.

You can help too!
