Dhole Conservation Fund is a new initiative to help with funding local conservation projects for the Asiatic wild dog called a dhole. Dholes, like many carnivores, are losing valuable habitat to human use and development. They are often persecuted by humans as they have been known to take livestock when their native prey has been depleted.

Aark is a non-profit wildlife rehabilitation and education center whose mission is to rehabilitate and release orphaned and injured native wildlife and promote harmony between humans and their wild neighbors through quality environmental education.

Southwest Wildlife Conservation Center rescues and rehabilitates wildlife that has been injured, displaced, and orphaned. Once rehabilitated, they are returned to the wild. Sanctuary is provided to animals that cannot be released back to the wild. Educational and humane scientific research opportunities are offered in the field of conservation medicine. Wildlife education includes advice on living with wildlife and the importance of native wildlife to healthy ecosystems. SWCC's mission is to save our wildlife, one life at a time.

Our mission is to be a voice for captive exotic birds and to promote unity within the avian community. We work to fulfill our mission by providing a safe haven for abused or unwanted exotic birds (regardless of species, age, special needs or behavior issues), re-socializing and re-homing eligible companion parrots, and providing educational resources to the avian community. We firmly believe (as do many other animal rights and animal welfare organizations) that animals are not ours to exploit for entertainment or profit, and thus, they should not be bred for these purposes. However, we recognize that there is a diverse range of opinions regarding this issue.

Recognizing that fauna, flora, and ecosystems contribute ecologically, economically, culturally, spiritually, and aesthetically to our lives... Understanding that a considerate, educated, and thoughtfully formed relationship between natural and human environments is essential for the harmonious co-existence of all species... Acknowledging that the activities of people impact the natural world, sometimes adversely... Believing that we can make an effort to remedy the unfavorable effects of humanity's actions, promote tolerance for the needs of all life, and contribute to balance on earth... Avian Haven was founded in Freedom, Maine as a non-profit wild bird rehabilitation center dedicated to the return of injured and orphaned wild birds of all species to natural roles in the wild. In practice, the rehabilitation and repatriation of wildlife is a medical, ecological, geographical, cultural, and educational endeavor. In fulfilling these facets, Avian Haven provides: Comprehensive medical care in a modern, well-equipped clinic. Rehabilitation in an environment designed to simulate natural conditions. Research and education to other wildlife rehabilitators and wildlife professionals on a local, state, and national level.

All Creatures Great and Small Wildlife Center, Inc. (ACGS) was founded in January 2000. First and foremost, ACGS is dedicated to providing the care and rehabilitation of orphaned, injured, and ill wildlife with the goal of returning them to the wild. We also respond to the community (phone) requests for information about wildlife and resolving human/wildlife conflicts; provide referrals to other resources for services; distribute wildlife information materials, and attend events and speak to groups to promote education and awareness of the proper care of wildlife.

The Norman Bird Sanctuary was established in 1949 at the bequest of Mabel Norman Cerio. Its mission, under the charge of her will, was to maintain 235 acres of land for the propagation, preservation, and protection of birds, and where birds and bird life may be observed, studied, taught, and enjoyed by lovers of nature and by the public generally so interested in a spirit of humanity and mercy. Over the years, NBS has grown to include more than 325 acres of diverse habitats, and its mission remains true to Mabel Norman Cerio's original vision. Today, the mission of the Norman Bird Sanctuary is to preserve and protect its habitats and resources for the benefit of birds and other wildlife, and for people's education and enjoyment.
