wildlife rescue
Saving injured creatures
Wildlife rescue is the practice of saving, rehabilitating, and releasing injured, orphaned, or displaced wild animals.
Organizations and individuals engaged in wildlife rescue respond to animals hit by cars, caught in storms, or displaced by development.
The goal is typically to return animals to their natural habitat: The wildlife rescue center nursed the owl back to health and released it in spring.
