Since 1972, Project Wildlife's dedicated volunteers have given injured, orphaned and sick wild animals a second chance at life. This commitment to helping wild animals has grown tremendously and Project Wildlife is now one of the largest wildlife rehabilitation organizations in the country. Our medical staff and volunteers now assist over 10, 000 birds and mammals representing over 320 species each year. Project Wildlife is a critical community resource for residents and businesses in San Diego County, one of the most biologically diverse areas in the United States with the greatest number of endangered species. People from all over the county bring wildlife patients to Project Wildlife for care and many local businesses such as landscaping companies, government agencies (e.g. Animal Services, CalTrans, SDPD), and animal organizations (e.g. SD Zoo, SD Humane Society, SeaWorld), depend on the life- saving services provided by Project Wildlife Under the guidance of the Executive Director, Lisa Culver, Project Wildlife employs eight full-time and four part-time staff. The organization's cadre of 500+ volunteers donates over 520, 000 hours per year to care for injured, orphaned and sick wildlife. More than 120 of those volunteers are Home Care Rehabilitators who work tirelessly, 24 hours a day 365 days a year, to provide pre-release care in their homes or on their property. These volunteers make up thirteen different animal teams, all trained to care for specific animals (e.g. deer, raptors, raccoons). More than 10% of current volunteers have been with Project Wildlife for over a decade. Project Wildlife is fortunate to have a professionally and ethnically diverse group of committed community leaders serving on its Board of Directors. Their passion and vision expertly guide Project Wildlife's mission to improve the quality of live for local wildlife and the community as the primary resource for animal rehabilitation and education.
