Help us unlock the science that will improve wild animals’ lives.

Thank you for reading our Researcher’s Starter Guide.

We’d love to keep the conversation going and learn how we can support you in your work. If you’d like to get in touch, please contact our outreach team.

If the Researcher’s Starter Guide was useful to you, would you donate to help us distribute resources like this to scientists and students around the world?

As a scientist, you know the importance of curiosity. Exploring complex questions can lead to groundbreaking discoveries with great potential to alleviate the suffering of people and animals and enrich their lives.

And you also know the importance of reliable funding that can sustain researchers and their work for years into the future. As a nonprofit organization, Wild Animal Initiative operates the same way: Donations and grants enable Wild Animal Initiative to advance an academic field for wild animal welfare science. Last year, 40% of our total operating budget came from individual supporters like you.

The Researcher’s Starter Guide is just one piece of the robust resource network we are developing to support wild animal welfare scientists and students around the world. We also provide workshops, seminars, advising, and other services to help these researchers flourish. If you enjoyed the Researcher’s Starter Guide and want to help equip other scientists and students with essential tools like this, will you chip in with a donation to Wild Animal Initiative? 

We envision an active and diverse community of researchers who are working toward a better world for wild animals, and your support makes it possible for us to keep that vision alive.
