I personally witnessed their work in 2012. What a game changer. What they do is so far removed from the traditional approach that seemingly every finding they make is groundbreaking. Their findings challenge the decades old dogma we all learned in school and in outdoor circles. As a biologist, everything I "knew" about black bears was challenged. As a biologist with several decades of professional experience under my belt, I felt like my career might have been wasted. The dynamic duo of Lynn Rogers and Sue Mansfield, WRI supporting cast, and WRI volunteers are now some of my favorite people on the planet. They truly deserve healthy funding as they deliver value for every dollar. Kudos to them and if you were on the fence, don't be. They are a GREAT place for your dollars to make a real difference. To a person, everyone I have spoken with who has first hand knowledge of WRI simply can't say enough good about them. Count me in that camp now. Please help put them on sustainable footing. They return your good will with fantastic work.

Fantastic operation on low budget. Friendly, knowledgeable staff and top quality exhibits with true bear information gleaned from first hand research not inferred from remote samples and prevailing opinion. My traditionally taught biological training was challenged and I walked away all the better for it. Please help support their critical mission. I can't think of a more dynamic organization!

Simply AMAZING. I've been a donor to this organization for many years. They never cease to amaze me both with their energy as well as accomplishment. Selfless, always present with advice to those who need help, always available to help a group of animals which is poorly understood by the general public but absolutely essential. They run VERY efficiciently as well. They must as money is tight everywhere and the body of work is enormous. There is story after story about their stellar acts on behalf of bats. I can't say enough good about them. If you're looking for a well run organization with a tremendously important mission, efficient user of your donations, and years of real accomplishement, I urge you to look no further than BatWorld.
