National Wildlife Rehabilitators Association

Knowledge is power. As Maya Angelou so beautifully said, “Do the best you can until you know better. Then when you know better, do better.” 

Education is the key to knowing what better looks like. What happens when you don’t have access to knowledge? 

For wildlife rehabilitators, that can mean animals suffer. For injured wildlife every minute matters. The sooner diagnosis, treatment, and pain can be alleviated the better the chance for healing and re-release to the wild. A skilled wildlife rehabilitator, whether they are at home or a part of a veterinary team, makes that happen. 

The National Wildlife Rehabilitators Association (NWRA) is at the forefront of helping wildlife rehabilitators and veterinary professionals continue to achieve better standards across the spectrum. With offerings that range from publications, including the Wildlife Rehabilitation Bulletin, our open-access journal, to our virtual and in-person courses, to our annual Symposium that hosts up to 500 attendees and provides in-person opportunities to learn, collaborate, and engage, we are committed to providing educational resources to the wildlife community.  

Today is your chance to make sure that NWRA can continue to provide the publications that so many in the wildlife community value and use daily. Books such as Quick Reference, Standards for Wildlife Rehabilitation, Wildlife Formulary and the Topics in Wildlife Medicine series are found in classrooms, wildlife rehabilitation centers, veterinary clinics, and the offices of independent rehabilitators around the world.
