Review for Wildlife Conservation Network, Inc., San Francisco, CA, USA
I am a long time supporter of WCN and my only wish is that I could do more. I discovered them many years ago through a fundraising event for the Niassa Lion Project, I've been a donor ever since. The annual Expo is something I look forward to all year, I even plan my travel around it to make sure I am able to attend. One of the best things about the Expo, and WCN in general, is it/they give me hope. We hear so much about all the devastation wildlife is experiencing and how endangered much of it is. Knowing there are conservationists out there who have hope and believe it's not too late is inspiring and keeps me from losing hope.
I've also had some amazing experiences with wildlife conservation projects in other countries because of my connection to WCN. I've been able to visit rehab centers in India (elephants) and Vietnam (pangolins) that I'd otherwise not have known about and most certainly would not have been able to visit. I am so very grateful for the work that WCN does and that I am, in some small way, a part of that.
Review for WildCare, San Rafael, CA, USA
I have been a volunteer with WildCare for 10 years. I'm fortunate to be a part of the raccoon foster team. Fostering is an big commitment and it can be exhausting but knowing you've helped animals that otherwise might not have a chance is incredibly rewarding. The work WildCare does is so important and for me, so very rewarding. I look forward to my shift every week and I regularly tell people, and truly believe, it is the best thing I do with my life.
