FUNDING FOR CONTINUED WEBSITE MAINTENANCE AND IMPROVEMENT WAS PROVIDED BY THE BARKLEY FUND. SINCE 1999, THE NWRA WILDLIFE MEDICINE COURSE HAS BEEN TAUGHT AT VETERINARY SCHOOLS ACROSS THE US AND CANADA, PROACTIVELY EXPOSING VETERINARY STUDENTS TO THE CONCEPT OF HUMANE CARE FOR WILDLIFE AND BASIC APPROACHES TO WILDLIFE STABILIZATION AND MEDICAL TREATMENT. VETERINARY STUDENTS ARE PROVIDED WITH INTENSE DIDACTIC AND HANDS-ON TRAINING BY EXPERIENCED WILDLIFE VETERINARIANS IN A VARIETY OF PRACTICAL TOPICS IN WILDLIFE MEDICINE, INCLUDING SPECIAL MODIFICATIONS NECESSARY FOR MANY WILDLIFE SPECIES IF THEY ARE TO SURVIVE AND BE RELEASED. FUNDING FOR COURSES IS PROVIDED BY A GRANT FROM THE KENNETH A. SCOTT CHARITABLE TRUST. EXAMPLES OF NWRA PUBLICATIONS AND EDUCATIONAL AND TRAINING MATERIALS INCLUDE: 1. ANSWERING THE CALL OF THE WILD, A HOTLINE OPERATOR'S GUIDE TO HELPING PEOPLE AND WILDLIFE. THIS ULTIMATE GUIDE FOR HANDLING CALLS ABOUT WILDLIFE EMERGENCIES HAS MORE THAN 500 PAGES OF WELL-ORGANIZED INFORMATION NEEDED TO SET UP AND OPERATE AN EFFECTIVE WILDLIFE HOTLINE. AN ENORMOUS RANGE OF INFORMATION IS ESSENTIAL FOR THOSE UNDERTAKING THE DAUNTING TASK OF PROVIDING HUMANE AND BIOLOGICALLY APPROPRIATE RESPONSES TO WILDLIFE EMERGENCIES. ADVICE OFFERED DEMONSTRATES A BROAD UNDERSTANDING OF WILDLIFE BEHAVIOR AND PROBLEMS, AND RECOMMENDATIONS ARE AIMED AT MINIMIZING HUMAN INTERFERENCE WITH WILDLIFE EXCEPT IN CASES OF GENUINE EMERGENCY. IT IS DESIGNED FOR WILDLIFE REHABILITATORS, ANIMAL CONTROL AGENCIES, ANIMAL RESCUE ORGANIZATIONS, NATURE CENTERS, PARKS, AND ANY TELEPHONE SERVICE THAT RECEIVES CALLS ABOUT WILDLIFE THEY ENDEAVOR TO ANSWER. 2. PRINCIPLES OF WILDLIFE REHABILITATION: THE ESSENTIAL GUIDE FOR NOVICE AND EXPERIENCED REHABILITATORS. STILL RECOGNIZED AS THE PREMIER TEXTBOOK IN OUR FIELD, THIS BOOK CONTINUES TO BE USED WIDELY AS A TRAINING MANUAL FOR NOVICE WILDLIFE REHABILITATORS AND VOLUNTEERS, THE PRIMARY TEXT FOR COLLEGE AND UNIVERSITY CLASSES, AS WELL AS BEING A RELIABLE REFERENCE MANUAL. MORE THAN 7,500 ARE IN CIRCULATION IN OUR UNIQUE FIELD. THIS 667-PAGE INDEXED VOLUME IS PRODUCED AND PUBLISHED BY NWRA AND IS THE ONLY PUBLICATION AVAILABLE THAT ENCOMPASSES ESSENTIAL ASPECTS OF WILDLIFE REHABILITATION, INCLUDING CONTACT INFORMATION FOR AGENCIES, ORGANIZATIONS, AND PRODUCT VENDORS NEEDED BY WILDLIFE REHABILITATORS. 3. MINIMUM STANDARDS FOR WILDLIFE REHABILITATION. THIS PEER-REVIEWED STANDARD OF MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS TO PROVIDE APPROPRIATE CARE FOR WILDLIFE IN TEMPORARY CAPTIVITY HAS BEEN ADOPTED INTO PERMITTING AND LICENSING REGULATIONS BY SEVERAL STATE AGENCIES AND THE US FISH & WILDLIFE SERVICE. THE FOURTH EDITION INCLUDES 50 PAGES OF NEW AND UPDATED MATERIAL, AND CONTINUES TO ACHIEVE WIDESPREAD DISTRIBUTION. THE CANADIAN WILDLIFE SERVICE IS CURRENTLY TRANSLATING THIS BOOK INTO FRENCH FOR USE BY THEIR AGENCY. 4. THE POPULAR QUICK REFERENCE, IS A COMPACT REFERENCE MANUAL OF BASIC AND FREQUENTLY USED INFORMATION SUITABLE FOR ALL EXPERIENCE LEVELS. THE EASY-TO-USE FORMAT CONTAINS CALCULATIONS, CONVERSION FACTORS, MANY USEFUL TABLES AND CHARTS, AND A GLOSSARY OF MEDICAL, BIOLOGICAL, AND REHABILITATIVE TERMS. 5.

BOTH BOOKS, CURRENTLY UNDERGOING REVISIONS, ARE COMPILED AND PUBLISHED BY EXPERIENCED AND HIGHLY REGARDED EDUCATORS. THEY ARE THE FIRST PUBLICATIONS AVAILABLE WITH A COMPREHENSIVE APPROACH TO LONG-TERM CARE OF CAPTIVE EDUCATIONAL WILDLIFE AND TO DEVELOPING EFFECTIVE AND MEANINGFUL PROGRAMS ON WILDLIFE EDUCATION, PRESERVATION, AND ECOSYSTEM AWARENESS. 7. NWRA WILDLIFE MEDICINE COURSE. NATIONALLY RECOGNIZED INSTRUCTORS ARE LICENSED VETERINARIANS WITH EXTENSIVE EXPERIENCE TREATING WILDLIFE PATIENTS. THIS GROUNDBREAKING COURSE PROVIDES OPPORTUNITIES FOR PROFESSIONAL STUDENTS IN ACCREDITED VETERINARY SCHOOLS TO GAIN FORMAL TRAINING IN MEDICINE, SURGERY, AND CAPTIVE MANAGEMENT OF NATIVE WILDLIFE SPECIES. IT MEETS A RECOGNIZED NEED IN VETERINARY TRAINING, AS MOST TRADITIONAL VETERINARY CURRICULA EXCLUDE OR MINIMIZE INSTRUCTION IN WILDLIFE MEDICINE. THIS IS IN CONTRAST TO THE SUBSTANTIAL INTEREST OF STUDENTS TO LEARN MORE ABOUT THIS SPECIALIZED FIELD. IN ADDITION TO HANDS-ON SKILLS, THE TRAINING PROVIDED BY THIS COURSE ALSO PREPARES STUDENTS TO WORK BETTER WITH WILDLIFE REHABILITATORS ONCE THEY BECOME PRACTICING VETERINARIANS, RESULTING IN OPTIMAL MEDICAL MANAGEMENT DURING THE REHABILITATION PROCESS. THE TWO-DAY COURSE HAS BEEN PRESENTED 24 TIMES AT 16 DIFFERENT VETERINARY SCHOOLS, AND HAS SERVED AN ESTIMATED 1,069 VETERINARY STUDENTS.
