rescue and release programs
Rescue and release programs involve rescuing injured, or vulnerable animals—often wildlife—and providing necessary care, such as medical treatment or rehabilitation. Once the animals recover and are deemed healthy and capable of surviving independently, they are safely released back into their natural habitat. These programs aim to protect and preserve wildlife, ensuring they can thrive in their ecosystems, while also reducing the risk of disease transmission or further harm. They play a vital role in conservation efforts by balancing human intervention with the animals’ natural behaviors and environments.
