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, 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 11th 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?
Raising awareness about the natural behaviours of our wild neighbours is also important. The more we understand, the more we can prevent the unfortunate consequences of our activities.
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!
