Wildlife baby shower
From moose calves to bear cubs, robin fledglings, baby hares, and nestling swallows, wildlife baby season is here. Over the coming months, the Alberta Institute for Wildlife Conservation (AIWC) will care for over 1,000 animals – many of them injured and orphaned wildlife babies. Please help us ensure these babies have a future.
Animals are often injured or orphaned because of human activities – window strikes, vehicle collisions, barbed wire, domestic cat and dog attacks, and even kidnapping (taking a healthy baby animal from the wild).
This year marks our 13th annual Wildlife Baby Shower event and we need your help to care for animals in need. Did you know that it can cost well over $100 to over $1,000 to rehabilitate an individual animal? You can help us meet our goal of $25,000!
As a non-profit organization, AIWC relies solely on donations and grant applications to operate.
Every dollar you give helps. Thank you for your support of Alberta’s wildlife!
In 2023, the Alberta Institute for Wildlife Conservation (AIWC) celebrated thirty years of saving wildlife.
Now, as this milestone year comes to a close, we ask you to help us continue our wildlife rehab, rescue, and awareness mission. This year we released over 400 patients — from a tiny wood frog to a trio of black bear cubs.
Each year the demand for our services increases, and we attribute much of this to the rise of human and wildlife encounters. The majority of animals admitted to AIWC are here as a result of human conflict in some way – hit by a car, a window strike, a cat or dog attack or other human-related incidents. The cost to rehabilitate an individual animal can vary greatly, but in most cases, it is well over $100.00 and sometimes several thousands of dollars for one individual. By donating to our “Give the Gift of Saving Wildlife” fundraiser you can help us meet our goal of $85,000.00.
As a non-profit organization, our work depends on people like you, willing to support AIWC as we care for Alberta’s injured and orphaned wildlife.
Every dollar you give helps. Thank you for your support!
