THE WILD AFFINITY NETWORK
An exciting new collaboration and 'think tank' to bring together research and practice towards improved wellbeing for all within wildlife care...
​
The WCB is delighted to announce the launch of a new hub to unite wildlife rehabbers and researchers, to enable improved wellbeing for all within wildlife care... We're just getting going, and it will be a work in progress over the next few months.
This is a new collaboration called the 'Wild Affinity Network'; designed to enable WCB Holders to connect with researchers to unite their complementary skill sets, knowledge and experience.
The high-level goals are:
- Create continuous improvement in the care and welfare of wildlife in rehabilitation.
- Empower and validate small-scale rescue rehabilitation (celebrating the high welfare work of WCB Holders in home based rescue, as well as our WCB Holders running centres).
- Enable greater wellbeing among those who work in wildlife care.
- Contribute towards a wider improvement of the collective wellbeing of humans and other animals.
Core themes:
-
Wildlife Rescue, Rehabilitation & Release: Defining Professional Best Practice.
​
-
Collaboration in Wildlife Care: Bridging the Gaps.
​
-
Wildlife Rescue: Supporting Responsible Decision-Making.
​
-
Creating an Effective Self-Regulation System in Wildlife Rescue.

More to come soon....
