About Wildlife Aid. (Reg Charity No. 297610)

Why do we need Wildlife Aid?
In Britain, we are fortunate to enjoy a huge diversity of native animals and birds but every year, millions of these animals are killed, injured or suffer some trauma, either as a result of direct contact with man, or the impact that we have on the environment. At Wildlife Aid, our aim is to help redress the balance between man and nature and to play our part in preserving our heritage for future generations to enjoy. While there are thousands of organisations and schemes dedicated to the vital work of preserving natural habitats, there are still very few who help preserve the species that live within them. Here at Wildlife Aid, we are dedicated to the rescue, care and rehabilitation of sick, injured or orphaned wildlife.

Preserving the balance of nature
Through history, we have seen how vital it is to preserve the natural balance of nature. The impact of losing one species can have devastating effects on the whole ecosystem and may have long term effects that, as yet, we still do not fully understand. Although we may not find some animals as appealing as others, each plays its own part in preserving the balance of nature. At Wildlife Aid, no British wild animal, from any species, is ever turned away if it needs our help.
 
Our Aim is to return the Animals back to the Wild
All the animals that come into our care are treated and rehabilitated completely free of charge. Our aim is return every animal that is capable of surviving back into its natural environment. Unfortunately, there are still too many incidents when the injuries - often deliberately inflicted by man - an animals injuries are so severe that they would be unable ever to be able to return to this wild. At Wildlife Aid, we do not believe that it is right to keep any wild animal in captivity and so, heartbreakingly, we allow any such animal the dignity of a peaceful and pain free death in a warm and comfortable environment. This is only ever a last resort and every day at Wildlife Aid, our volunteer's dedication and care allows us to see remarkable recoveries where others might have given up.
 
Education is our Future
At Wildlife Aid, we believe passionately in the importance of education in helping to preserve our heritage. Through school talks, presentations, our website and many other means of communication, we play an active role in helping future generations understand and learn about environmental issues that affect us all.
 
Helping Others to Help Wildlife
As a centre of excellence dealing with all native species, we receive thousands of phone calls, letters and e-mails asking for advice and help. From vets, schools, members of the public and other charities and organisations, we are always available to offer what help and support we can. We provide work experience for students from across the country and liaise regularly with agricultural and training establishments on the content of the wildlife section of veterinary courses. Whatever the problem, if it concerns British wildlife, we will find the answer.

About the Adoptions

By adopting an animal while it is in our care, you will be helping out with the costs of specialist care, food and medicines that your particular patient needs to help it return to the wild as quickly as possible.

In return for your adoption, we will send you, or the person in whose name the adoption is made, a letter and a photograph of your patient plus a final report once the patient is released back to its natural home.

Animal adoptions are fantastic and original gifts for friends or relatives, while at the same time a way of doing something positive to help British wildlife. Why not treat yourself, or someone you know and help an animal in need at the same time!
