About
True Wildlife Rescue Stories and Prevention of Wildlife Injuries
Have you ever witnessed a wild animal in distress and wondered how to help it? Wildlife’s Second Chance provides information that helps you give the animal a second chance to survive. The important message here is, “Always call a wildlife rescue organization first before handling wildlife.”
Wildlife’s Second Chance will delight readers with true wildlife rescue stories. Photographs show how the veterinarians and technicians managed the rehabilitation of birds, mammals, snakes, turtles, bats, and more.
Wildlife’s Second Chance explains why wild animals which live close to human activity are at greater risk for injuries, poisoning, contamination and becoming orphaned. This has given rise for the need of non-profit wildlife rescue organizations. Working under strict regulations, they accept injured wildlife and rehabilitate the lucky ones to become healthy and returned to their wild home.
This book salutes the volunteers who assist the non-profit wildlife rescue groups. Their sole reward is knowing they play vital roles giving injured wildlife a second chance to be healthy and free.
A purpose of this book is to reveal how we can do a better job of protecting the wild animals living in our cities, towns, farms, sports, and industrial sites. Americans and Canadians value their wildlife and the wild habitats. These are at risk due to climate change and shifting environmental policies. Wildlife’s Second Chance provides options on how we can ensure both remain healthy.
