| Since
1994, Southwest Wildlife has rehabilitated thousands
of sick, injured, and abandoned wild animals
on its 10 acre desert
habitat facility, and
has successfully released 70 percent of those
wild animals back into the wild.
Southwest
Wildlife's facility provides areas for
wild animal rehabilitation for both releasable
and non-releasable wild animals, an on-site
medical care center, full-time consultation
services, and a volunteer dispatch team
that immediately responds to wildlife emergencies.
Southwest
Wildlife actively works with many private,
community, and governmental agencies in
solving wildlife situations as well as
planning the reintroduction of wild animals.
We also serve as a holding facility for
the recovery program for the Mexican Grey
Wolf.
Southwest Wildlife offers a variety of Educational Programs, which can be presented during a tour of our Nature Center or at your location. Programs may be customized to meet the needs of a group or individuals and to any curriculum. In addition, Southwest Wildlife provides veterinary interns from around the world the opportunity to practice wildlife medicine.
It is Southwest Wildlife’s dream to see wild places preserved for the benefit of future generations. We must learn to understand and appreciate nature for what it is — a whole and complete system. Every living thing is important to the chain of life. If we remove one link from the chain, we jeopardize the entire system.
Because we receive no state or federal government money for our operations, we have subsisted entirely on donations, grants, and the hard work of many volunteers. It is the dedication of the volunteers of Southwest Wildlife who have made it possible to achieve our goal of “saving our wildlife, one life at a time.
