The Problem
The absence of a coordinated and organized process for rescuing injured and orphaned wildlife presents a significant threat to wildlife. Have you ever stumbled upon an injured wild animal and felt helpless, not knowing whom to contact or how to provide assistance? Even when you are aware of rescue organizations, the complexities of coordinating capture and transfer can be overwhelming. What if you discover an injured pelican on the beach late in the evening when most rescue facilities are closed?
Furthermore, during crises like oil spills or domoic acid outbreaks, there is no established system for systematically locating and rescuing affected wildlife. The absence of an organized search and rescue approach leaves many animals at risk. The timing of rescue is often crucial and can determine whether a sick animal survives. This is especially pertinent in the face of the numerous threats currently endangering our wildlife, including fishing hook entanglements, vehicle collisions, nest falls from tree trimming, ocean pollution, and impacts from oil spills, among others.
We are deeply passionate about filling this critical gap. Our commitment is to collaborate with diverse entities, technologists, philanthropists, government agencies, and rehabilitators to develop and implement a swift and efficient process for locating and rescuing injured wildlife.
The Wildlife Jewels® Rescue Program Description
Our Wildlife Rescue program is our response to the growing crisis faced by wildlife today. From rising water temperatures to ocean pollution, from domoic acid crises to entanglement in fishing gear, wildlife is under unprecedented threat. It's essential to better organize and prepare for wildlife rescue swiftly. Our program’s vision is built upon strong collaborations with international partners, rehabilitation groups, and pioneering technologists. Together, we aim to revolutionize the discovery, rescue, and treatment of wounded wildlife, leveraging cutting-edge technologies to ensure the swift and efficient retrieval and transport of injured animals to dedicated rehabilitation facilities.
