Project WildLife
Do you know how many wild creatures there are in the world? Can you remember their names? If you don’t, you may want to stop by the Project WildLife booth at this year’s San Diego Science Festival!
Project WildLife is a non-profit volunteer organization established in 1972. Throughout the San Diego County, Project WildLife provides emergency first aid, long-term treatment, and veterinary care to over 11,000 wild creatures each year. They help a lot of wild creatures, such as marine mammals, reptiles, pets, or domestic animals and so on. On their website (http://www.projectwildlife.org) you can take a look at their photo gallery, where there are many awesome pictures of the wildlife creatures. They also have some advice on what to do when you see wildlife animals, how to help them, and descriptions of their basic behavior. With this advice, people can get a sense about how to help Project WildLife take care of the wild land. San Diego is a beautiful place for wildlife creatures, and we should learn how to live with them and protect them.
Project WildLife has school program and private and community group program for kids and the general public. Volunteers bring educational animals to classrooms or the public to send out a message about the importance of conserving habitats for wildlife. As the description on the webpage states, the mission of Project WildLife is to promote wildlife conservation by teaching children and adults about the beauty and value of our wildlife. Project WildLife has many different volunteer options: hotline volunteers, event and fundraising volunteers, education volunteers, or care center animal assistants. If you want to get involved, you can learn more about volunteer opportunities at their upcoming orientation. Your help is very important!
The 2010 San Diego Science Festival is also a great way to connect with Project WildLife. Their booth will showcase live animals and wildlife conservation. Please come to the expo day March 27th for more information about Project WildLife.
