About Us
Call for the Wild
Our mission is to connect people with nature and inspire them to help protect and restore wildlife and wild places. We strive to educate, motivate, and fund the important work of wildlife rescue, research, and conservation.
With this call to action, we act on behalf of those creatures and places that cannot speak or act for themselves. We believe that Earth’s natural biodiversity and resources also provide humanity with an exceptional quality of life that needs to be sustainably preserved for all living creatures.
People and businesses that benefit and prosper from Earth’s natural resources should participate in the critical work of preserving, protecting, and restoring it. The essential natural balance of Earth’s long-term health and the well-being of all living creatures and ecosystems depend on us.
We invite you to be a partner and defender on this mission of saving the wildlife and wild places of our planet. Whether it’s with us, or any other organization, we ask you to join in the Call For The Wild!
