The Greater Impact of Wildlife Patients
Season 4
Episode 401
More than 85,000 patients have passed through the doors of The Wildlife Center of Virginia, a hospital for native wildlife, since its founding in 1982. Every animal patient has a story to share that illustrates the wider problems wildlife face: litter, pesticides, free-roaming domestic animals, habitat loss, and diseases - helping us shape our conservation education and research.
