Wild Animal Health

Wild animal health refers to the overall well-being of non-domesticated animals in their natural habitats. It encompasses their physical, mental, and social health, as well as their ability to thrive in the wild. Factors influencing wild animal health include disease, habitat loss, pollution, and climate change. Monitoring and enhancing the health of wild populations is vital for biodiversity, ecosystem balance, and human health, as diseases can sometimes transfer between wildlife and humans. Efforts in wildlife conservation, veterinary care, and research aim to protect these animals and ensure robust ecosystems.
