Our Week Of Wild Savings Is Here!

Saving animals from extinction is a huge challenge.
Protecting their health is key. Wild animals need DISEASE DETECTIVES to spot disease fast and take action before it wipes out species.

Every pound donated is DOUBLED and trains TWICE the number of DISEASE DETECTIVES to protect wildlife from disease.

Donate Now

Since the autumn of 2021, one disease has caused the ‘biggest sudden drop of the world’s wild bird population in decades’, with at least 280 million birds having died.

Every donation, no matter the size, will be doubled!

22-29 APRIL

Wildlife vets need special expertise to spot disease fast and take action to stop it before it wipes out species. Help us train more Disease Detectives to protect the health of wildlife and defend our biodiversity.

Why it matters

We need Disease Detectives to spot disease fast and take action to stop it wiping out whole species.

We know the spread of disease is also intricately linked to extinction, biodiversity loss and climate change. Yet wildlife conservation is often still focused on tackling poaching, habitat degradation and pollution in a changing climate. Of course, these are all important.

But a critical piece of the puzzle is often missing: wildlife health. Help us give local vets and conservationists the skills they need to become Disease Detectives.

What will your support achieve?

WVI is in a unique position to build wildlife health capacity where the need is greatest – in areas where specialist veterinary training is scarce.

We are the only organisation that focusses on transferring knowledge to local conservationists and vets. We provide them with the tools and training to protect wild animal health with greater competence and confidence.

Here's what training disease detectives looks like in action:

Seychelles

We have been training conservationists to safely take samples from the islands’ unique bird species to monitor for threats like bird flu. Avian influenza has already killed millions of birds worldwide and is now spreading to mammals.

Nigeria

We made it possible for an enterprising wildlife vet to access world class training, equipping him with critical skills and knowledge to monitor the health of wildlife and train the next generation of vets in Nigeria.

Belize

We recently provided training for forest rangers so that they can safely immobilise and sample pumas and jaguars, to investigate and monitor their health.

Nepal

We are funding research into the underlying health of leopards that get involved in human-wildlife conflict situations.
