Wherever a wild animal needs support, our veterinary team is there to help, whether it’s responding to an emergency out in the field or conducting life-changing operations from the clinic at our Wildlife Centre.
Take our Wildlife Emergency Response Unit (WERU) as an example. Working in partnership with the Department of National Parks and Wildlife – and thanks to support from the Born Free Foundation and the Olsen Animal Trust – WERU works on the frontline of conservation, providing life-saving support to wildlife across Malawi. This includes everything from removing a poacher’s snare from an elephant to putting a collar on a lion so that park management can monitor its movements.
Our wildlife vets are supported by a wider team of rehabilitation and welfare experts who work tirelessly to give rescued animals a fighting chance at life back in the wild.
You can see our team in action by watching the #MalawiWildlifeRescue documentary. Details on transmission dates throughout the North America, MENA, the EU, UK, Asia and now Malawi! too can be found on our LWT on TV page. Below are a few highlights from the show to give you an insight into vet medicine on the wild side!
