Conservation
The Wilds is involved in many different conservation methods in an attempt to help reduce the decline of wildlife habitats. These methods range from professional training to animal husbandry to conservation medicine.
In order to help the development of conservation medicine, The Wilds has started three projects that they hope will be models for the conservation medicine initiative as a whole. These include assessing water quality and its effects on marine life, comparing animal health parameters in multiple habitats, and evaluating fresh water mussels for diseases, parasites and toxins. Each of these projects is designed assess the condition of various wildlife and their habitats, and to develop methods to reduce or reverse the destruction of each ecosystem.
