Teaching the World: Non-releasable Animal Ambassadors

“UNTAMED” - a co-production of VPM and the Wildlife Center of Virginia - introduces viewers to the natural and man-made challenges facing wildlife today and, most importantly, what we can do to make a difference.

Teaching the World: Non-releasable Animal Ambassadors

Season 3 Episode 303 | 26m 30s | CC

The goal of wildlife rehabilitation is to release healthy, recovered animals back to their natural habitats, as fully functioning wild animals. But what happens when animals can’t be released? This episode highlights the selection criteria and welfare considerations that are essential to determine if an animal is a good candidate as an animal ambassador.
