Scholarships & Professional Development

Wildlife Health Risk Analysis Workshop 2024

We supported Wildlife Health Australia in hosting a workshop that brought together wildlife health professionals from across the Asia-Pacific. The event focused on assessing and managing risks to wildlife, connecting policy with practice, and building a regional network of trained professionals. Outputs included case studies for a global guide and a professional development module for ongoing learning.

Emergency Funding, Rehabilitation

Supporting Orangutan Conservation after Disaster 2024

A devastating landslide has caused severe damage to the SOCP Orangutan Quarantine and Rehabilitation Center in North Sumatra, a vital facility for rescuing and rehabilitating displaced orangutans. While all staff and orangutans are safe, critical repairs are urgently needed to damaged enclosures and access roads to ensure the center can continue its lifesaving work.
