A wildlife rehabilitation clinic on Sanibel Island is working to save thousands of injured and orphaned animals through advanced veterinary care, education, and conservation medicine.
According to the Clinic for the Rehabilitation of Wildlife (CROW), the facility treats more than 6,000 wildlife patients each year, including over 200 species of native and migratory animals. The clinic is recognized as one of the nation’s leading wildlife rehabilitation centers.
Alison Hussey, executive director of CROW, said the clinic provides state-of-the-art veterinary services and serves as a teaching hospital for future wildlife care professionals.
Hussey said their goal is not only to provide the best care for injured wildlife but also to educate the public on conservation and the importance of protecting the animals.
Beyond its veterinary hospital, CROW focuses on research and public education, offering programs that teach visitors about local wildlife and conservation efforts.
