wild animals knew to run inland before the 2004 Asian tsunami hit land;however,pets and farm animals did not fare so well.Several people in the areas hit by the tsunami depended on working farm animals;many of these animals were killed,injured,or left in devastated areas without food.The Humane Society International worked with other organizations and volunteers to help the animalsand the people who cared for themget their lives back on track.ConclusionRehabbers often use animals that cannot return to the wild as ambassadors to help teach peopleto respect wildlife.Children and adults learn about wildlife that live in their local area and about respecting habitats so that wild animals can continue to find food and shelter.Wildlife rehabbers do important work in caring for injured wild animals and returning many of them to the wild.You can help rehabbers efforts by respecting wildlife and by calling a rehabber if you see an animal in distress.One phone call might give a wild animal the opportunity to grow up and live a free and healthy life.A man carries his daughter and dog to safety after the tsunami in December 2004.This bird of prey acts as an ambassador to teach children about animals in their area.Wildlife Rescue Level X34Table of ContentsIntroduction.4Wildlife Rehabilitators .5Rescue.9Rehabilitation.13Release .17Disaster Rescue .20Conclusion .22Glossary

seems unable to hop or a raccoon wobbling and swaying from side to side as it walks?Many people dont know what actions to take,or not to take,when they find wildlife that may be in need of assistance.However,people with special training in caring for wildlife know just what to do.They know to leave the raccoon alone because it is probably sick,and they know whether they can help the rabbit and then return it to the wild.They can also look at the baby bird and determine what care to give,if any.These people can teach you how to help,too.Who to Call?If you see a wild animal in trouble,let an adult know right away.If you cannot find an adult you trust,look in the phone book under“Wildlife Rescue”or“Animal Rescue.”Topsy,a three-month-old female great horned owl,was rescued

as an ambassador to teach children about animals in their area.Wildlife Rescue Level X1920About half the animals at rehabilitation centers are too sick or too badly injured to ever be released back to the wild.Many animals have lost limbs,beaks,wings,or eyesight.A bird with an injured wing that does not heal properly,or with only one eye,would not be able to fly or hunt in the wild.When it is clear that an animal will never survive in the wild or at a rehabilitation center,rehabbers have to make a difficult decision.If the animal is in pain,euthanasiaquick,painless killingis sometimes the best way to end that animals suffering.Disaster RescueHuman activities are not the only causes of wildlife injuries.Natural disasters,such as wildfires,tsunamis,and hurricanes,hurt animals,too.Terri Crisp spends much of her time rescuing animals that are affected by natural disasters.During a raging California wildfire in 1986,Terri rescued a Shetland pony by coaxing itinto a car.She worked to save sea otters and loons in 1989 during the Exxon Valdez oil spill in Alaska,and in 1992,she worked to rescue hundreds of animals hurt by Hurricane Andrew.She founded the organization Noahs Wish to train volunteers to rescue animals that are at risk because of disasters.This adult female great horned owl is not a quiet flyer because of a wing injury.The noise warns prey animals she hunts,so she can never be released.Terri Crisp with one of the animals she has rescued from earthquakes,fires,floods,hurricanes,oil spills,tornadoes,and other disastersWildlife Rescue Level X56Wildlife RehabilitatorsPeople who help sick,injured,or orphaned wildlife are called wildlife rehabilitators,or“rehabbers.”Rehabilitate means“to restore,or bring back,to good health.”Wildlife rehabbers rescue wild animals and care for them as they heal.After the animals recover,rehabbers release them back into the wild whenever possible.These wildlife rehabbers have special training in many areas.They are nutritionists with expertise in what and how much to feed different species of animals.They are behaviorists,meaning they have studied the behavior of wild animals and can understand and predict what a specific animal will do in various situations.They are animal-housing specialists who know exactly the type of cage,pen,or other enclosure to use for different species of animals,especially when an animal is injured and needs a particular kind of shelter to heal safely.Many rehabbers can treat wild animals with illnesses and injuries,too,just as veterinarians do.However,not all rehabbers are veterinarians,and not all veterinarians know how to care for wild animals.Most rehabbers specialize in the capture and transport of injured wildlife.Rehabbers know how to handle wildlife safely to prevent injury to the animals or themselves.The work of rehabbers is needed more frequently as increasing numbers of people move into places where wild animals live.When land is used for farming,houses,and businesses,the natural habitats and foods of wild animals are destroyed,and animals are more likely to be orphaned,injured,or killed.People and their activities cause the majority of wildlife injuries.Animal caretakers treat a sea turtle for injuries to its right flipper.Common Causes of Injury Hit by vehicles Hitting other objects Poisoning Illegal hunting Litter and pollution Animal attacksRehabber Lisa treats Tripod,a young javelina who was hit by a car.Wildlife Rescue Level X56Wildlife RehabilitatorsPeople who help sick,injured,or orphaned wildlife are called wildlife
