WILDLIFE
HEALTH—

THE MISSING PIECE 
TO CONSERVATION

“VIEW puts wildlife health in the forefront of conservation.

Our wildlife health programs train local conservationists and reverse the negative trend of extinctions.”

— Deborah McCauley, DVM, Co-Founder and Executive Director of VIEW

OUR MISSION

is to protect endangered wildlife
by tackling the health threats they face
in their native habitats.

Produced by El País, this short English-language video, "Jungle Doctor," captures how VIEW is working to impact the health of wildlife in their native habitat. 

OUR GUIDING PRINCIPLES 

LOCAL COLLABORATION
EVIDENCE-BASED SOLUTIONS

SUSTAINABILITY

Working with local stakeholders, VIEW builds comprehensive wildlife health programs that are run and led by local wildlife professionals.

OUR APPROACH

Through education, building infrastructure, providing technology, conducting research, and promoting policies, we ensure healthy environments for wildlife and the people and domestic animals
that share their habitat. 

EDUCATION

VIEW provides the education, hands-on training and mentoring necessary to empower local wildlife professionals to better understand and respond to health risks facing endangered wildlife populations.

TOOLS & TECHNOLOGY

From field hospitals and molecular labs to microscopes and field instruments, VIEW provides wildlife professionals with the infrastructure and tools that are critical for the success of local wildlife health programs.

RESEARCH

VIEW’s training, tools, and technology support research that exposes health threats to the survival of entire species, while empowering local scientists to pursue research and publish their findings internationally.

OUR WORK

VIEW makes a global impact on wildlife health by working in strategic locales, considering
the
biodiversity and number of critically endangered species of a region as well as the potential to
partner with
governments and
local agencies
to create sustainable wildlife conservation programs.

Our Digital Health Surveillance System 

WHIS

VIEW has brought technology into the field of conservation by developing the
first digital disease surveillance system, Wildlife Health Information System (WHIS). This technology helps us track location, study disease dynamics, and better analyze health trends. With the use of WHIS, wildlife professionals around the world can easily collect and share information about sick or dying animals, disease, treatment, and prevention.

PROJECTS ON THREE CONTINENTS

To help us reach our goals, we have strategically organized projects in three regions: Africa, North America, and Asia. WHIS plays a role in each of them.  Learn more, below.

AFRICAN WILDLIFE

Known for its diverse landscapes and charismatic wildlife, the African continent holds a quarter of the world’s biodiversity. Sadly, pristine wildlife habitat has largely disappeared and the human-livestock-wildlife interface has increased dramatically, providing unprecedented opportunity for the transmission of disease. Many fragile wildlife populations, including carnivores and species such as giraffes, rhinos and elephants, already suffer from disease spillover.  

The Rocky Mountain Region & Pacific Northwest are home to some of North America’s most iconic wildlife, from grizzly bears and bison to bighorn sheep. These animals face many threats owing to increased human activity and climate change. Disease, amplified by these threats, is less understood, and research is critical to ensuring their survival.

NORTH AMERICAN WILDLIFE

ASIAN WILDLIFE

Home to nearly half of the world’s biodiversity hotspots, Asia and the Pacific’s rich biological landscape is being rapidly degraded by urbanization, mining, deforestation, illegal wildlife trade, etc. Fast-increasing human and domestic animal populations amplify the threat of disease to already critically endangered native species from tigers and snow leopards to Asian elephants and one-horned rhinos.
