Natural disasters including wildfires, floods, and droughts cause enormous wildlife welfare harm. Emergency response and habitat resilience build wildlife welfare capacity.
Natural disasters represent some of the most acute and large-scale wildlife welfare events. Billions of individuals suffer injury, starvation, and death in events that are becoming more frequent and severe with climate change. Emergency wildlife rehabilitation provides individual welfare relief, but building habitat resilience - water security, fire management, habitat connectivity - addresses welfare at landscape scale.
