About this organization
Mission
Our mission is to understand and improve the lives of wild animals.
About
We’re advancing a scientific field dedicated to understanding wild animal welfare. Although the vast majority of animals live in the wild, we know relatively little about their welfare. To understand the unique threats to wild animals’ well-being as individuals and figure out how people can safely and effectively intervene, we need much more research. A discipline focused on wild animal welfare will open doors to new scientific paradigms and ultimately help wild animals. We see an exciting opportunity to explore understudied topics and pursue new angles of scientific inquiry. Research will also directly guide efforts to help wild animals. For example, what helps some wild animals might harm others, and an extensive body of research will help scientists and wildlife managers predict and mitigate those network effects. Right now, the knowledge gaps are too large for any one research group to fill. To address that, we envision a robust, diverse community of scientists who will find answers to important and urgent questions about wild animal welfare. Together, we’ll make sure this burgeoning discipline flourishes well into the future. To support that growing community, we conduct scientific research, make grants, and provide career services for scientists studying wild animal welfare.
