Profile

Conservation charities work hard to protect wild animals and wild places. Without veterinary skills and training, their job is much more difficult. Wildlife Vets International is a new charity created to give conservation workers the veterinary support and skills they need.

We provide veterinary services for conservation projects, training for staff working hands-on with endangered species, and a rapid response to conservation emergencies. We work with field projects on saving rare and endangered animals.

An important part of the work carried out by Wildlife Vets International is the education and training of people who live and work in the animals' natural range. This training provides people with extra skills, and contributes to sustainable, long-term solutions for preserving endangered species. We hope to improve the relationship between wild animals and the people with whom they share their world.

We work closely with zoos, conservation charities and governments to provide help where it is needed most.
