IWRC and its members worldwide contribute to the rescue, rehabilitation and reintroduction of hundreds of thousands of wild animals each year, providing a public service that is above value.

Global warming, pollution, pesticides, chemicals, habitat loss and natural disasters threaten wildlife populations, the balance of nature, and life on earth. IWRC and its members fight for the survival of biological diversity, and the animals that are integral to it. Why? Because wild animals are not just creatures that enrich our lives with beauty, or that provide indigenous peoples with food and clothing. They are more indispensable than that. They are the pollinators, the dispersers of seeds, the recyclers, the enrichers of soil, and the controllers of insects. No army of scientists and agriculturalists can create the abundance so freely provided by nature when the cycle of life moves in the way it must. Water, light and soil give rise to plants; plants give rise to animals, and animals in turn pollinate plants, disperse seeds, control excess, feed soil, and give rise to new life. When they are lost, all is lost.

IWRC is a registered non-profit organization that relies on membership, volunteers, sales of publications, grants and donations to develop and deliver programs, services, and information to the international wildlife rehabilitators working at the front lines, to other professionals, and to you, for the benefit of wildlife, mankind, and the planet.

If you would like to be part of the solution, you can help by making a donation to support IWRC, its programs and its services.
