Wild Animal Health Fund

There are dozens — perhaps hundreds — of nonprofit organizations working to save critical habitats worldwide.

But who is helping the wild animals that are sick . . . injured . . . or even dying? And who is helping the zoo animals that are in many cases our only hope to prevent extinction?

We are, with The Wild Animal Health Fund.

In 2005, the American Association of Zoo Veterinarians (AAZV) launched The Wild Animal Health Fund to fund critical research and studies that give zoo animals and wildlife a better quality of life.

The Fund is very different than other environment-focused conservation organizations. While other groups do the important work of preserving and protecting natural habitats, The Wild Animal Health Fund focuses on the animals themselves — everything from tiny tree frogs to humpback whales.

The Wild Animal Health Fund has one goal: To optimize the health, welfare and conservation of zoo animals and wildlife through critical research and studies.
