Wildlife protection is the heart of what I do
— it’s about defending the natural balance of life by caring for the animals and ecosystems that sustain it.
I’m working toward becoming a licensed wildlife rehabilitator,
dedicated to rescuing, treating, and releasing wild animals
who’ve been injured, orphaned, or displaced.
My goal is to have the ability to heal individual creatures when they're put in my path
for me to do so, while also addressing the larger environmental systems that affect them,
which is where all my creativity & entrepreneurialism come from, because these things cost money.
Wildlife protection isn’t just emergency response — it’s long-term stewardship. It means restoring habitats, preventing conflict between people and wildlife, and teaching communities how to coexist with the species that share their land.
Every animal tells a story about the health of its ecosystem.
By protecting wildlife, I’m helping protect the forests, rivers, and skies they represent — and the future we all depend on.
My mission: To bridge the gap between veterinary care, environmental science, and community action
— creating a world where humans and wildlife can thrive together.
WHAT IS WILDLIFE REHABILITATION?
IN SHORT:
It’s like being a doctor and caretaker for wild animals
— helping them recover from injuries or illness so they can go back to living free in nature.
IF YOU REALLY WANNA KNOW:
Wildlife rehabilitation is the treatment and temporary care of injured, diseased, or orphaned indigenous animals, with the goal of releasing them back into their natural habitats
in a condition that allows for normal survival and reproduction.
It’s a bridge between human care and wild freedom
— where biology, medicine, and compassion meet.
It combines aspects of veterinary medicine,
animal behavior, nutrition, and ecology to ensure successful reintegration into the wild.
Rehabilitators act as first responders to wildlife, treating broken wings, cleaning oil-soaked feathers, mending wounds, and providing the nutrition, environment,
and behavioral training animals need to survive on their own again.
But it’s more than just medical care — it’s about restoring balance to ecosystems.
Every hawk, raccoon, bat, or frog plays a role in nature’s web,
and rehabilitation helps keep that web intact by returning healthy,
functional animals back to their environment.
It also has a strong educational and conservation side: rehabbers teach the public
how human activities affect wildlife and how to coexist responsibly
— reducing harm from things like cars, pets, pollution, or habitat destruction.
