Behind Every Species Saved, There’s A Wildlife Vet
Make a the difference by donating to Wildlife Vets International during the first ever
challenge
22 - 29 April
Behind every species saved, there’s a wildlife vet.
Caring for the health of wild animals is key to their welfare and survival. Disease, illness and injury can make the difference between extinction and recovery — but too often, conservation efforts lack access to vital veterinary support and skills.
What difference can you make by donating today?
    • Give practical wildlife health skills to 150+ conservation professionals including vets, vet nurses, rangers and biologists working in biodiverse-rich regions;
    • Support conservation leaders by developing and embedding systems-based wildlife health training, strengthening how projects are designed, funded and delivered across biodiversity and climate programmes;
    • Support the development and application of practical tools and techniques, including diagnostics and field methods that improve conservation delivery;
    • Improve collaboration across disciplines, linking wildlife, human and ecosystem health expertise to support more integrated conservation action.

Why donate through Earth Raise 2026?

We are exstatic to have reached our target BUT there is always more to do and the campaign runs until midday on Wednesday 29th April.
Every additional £900 we raise creates another Wildlife Health Bursary and one more person can get the specialist training they need.
**Campaign update**
We have reached our £20,000 target!! Those projects are guaranteed to go ahead. But the work doesn't stop there. Further donations will enable us to continue to support the health of all the species that share our planet.
Investing in WVI today will:
  1. Provide targeted veterinary expertise to conservation programmes, including hands-on clinical support, where it’s needed most;
  2. Equip wildlife professionals with practical skills in areas like safe capture, treatment and reintroduction of animals;
  3. Strengthen disease monitoring and risk assessment, helping conservationists respond effectively to emerging threats and protect the health of all who share the planet;
  4. Support the development of tools, research and partnerships that improve wildlife health and long-term conservation outcomes.

Why is this so important?

Conservation often focuses on stopping poaching, the illegal wildlife trade, habitat destruction and climate change.
But without addressing animal health, these efforts cannot succeed. When ecosystems are disrupted, disease risks increase - threatening wildlife, livelihoods and human health.
Yet access to wildlife veterinary training and expertise remains limited, especially in the regions where biodiversity is greatest.
By giving today, you can help change that.
You can ensure conservationists have the knowledge, tools and support they need to protect wildlife health - because the future of species, ecosystems and people are all connected.
