FIELD HOSPITAL OPERATIONS - CBB WORKS TO PROTECT AND SAVE WILDLIFE. WILDLIFE VETS PLAY A CRITICAL ROLE IN ASSISTING WITH THE PRESERVATION OF WILDLIFE SPECIES. IT IS FOR THE REASON THAT CBB IS SUPPORTING AFRICAN WILDLIFE VETS BY ASSISTING WITH THE FUNDING OF A FULL-TIME VET. EACH CASE THEY HANDLED REMAINS CRUCIAL TO WILDLIFE CONSERVATION. THROUGHOUT THE YEAR, DR. JENIFER AND DR. DAVE PROVIDED CRITICAL CARE TO NUMEROUS ANIMALS, MANY OF WHICH WERE INJURED BY POACHERS OR SNARE TRAPS. A VETERINARY FIELD HOSPITAL WAS ESTABLISHED, WHICH IS NOW ACTIVELY PROVIDING ESSENTIAL CARE TO WILDLIFE IN NEED. THIS BOMA SERVICES THE SURROUNDING NATIONAL RESERVES. PRIDES OF LIONS AND PACKS OF WILD DOGS INHABITED THE HOSPITAL FOR MOST MONTHS. 0 18839 ANTI POACHING WORKSHOPS AND RESEARCH - WITH THE CONTINUED RHINO POACHING CRISIS IN SOUTH AFRICA, WE HAVE ALSO HAD TO DEAL WITH THE EFFECTS OF THIS, INCLUDING ATTENDING TO FORENSIC POST-MORTEMS OF RHINOS AND RESCUING RHINO ORPHANS AFTER THEIR MOTHERS HAVE BEEN BRUTALLY POACHED. ANTI-POACHING WORKSHOPS WERE DONE WITH GOVERNMENTAL OFFICIALS, RESERVE MANAGERS, WILDLIFE RANGERS, AND WILDLIFE-WILDLIFE CONFLICT RESOLUTION PERSONAL IN RWANDA AND UGANDA. WITH THE OBJECTIVE TO CREATE CONSERVATION GUIDELINES AND FRAMEWORKS FOR MOUNTAIN GORILLAS. REFORMED POACHERS WERE SURVEYED IN ORDER TO UNDERSTAND THEY MOTIVATIONS TO PARTICIPATE IN CONSERVATION-BASED BEHAVIORS. THIS IS A GOOD EXAMPLE OF CBBS DIRECT IMPACT. IN 2023, ELEPHANTS WERE COLLARED IN HLUHLUWE IMFOLOZI PARK TO SUPPORT THE WORK OF THE ECOLOGIST AND RESEARCH TEAMS IN MONITORING HERD MOVEMENTS AND DETERMINING POPULATION SIZE. THE TRACKING COLLARS WILL PROVIDE VALUABLE INSIGHTS FOR ONGOING CONSERVATION EFFORTS. 0 14075 ANIMAL RESCUES - VETERINARY SUPPORT WAS PROVIDED TO HLUHLUWE IMFOLOZI PARK AND UMKHUZE GAME RESERVE. IN 2023, THIS INCLUDED THE RELOCATION OF BLACK RHINO (DICEROS BICORNIS) AND CAPTURING AND NOTCHING A WHITE RHINO (CERATOTHERIUM SIMUM) THAT ESCAPED THE PROTECTED BOUNDARY. IN 2023, OUR PREDATOR WORK FOCUSED ON PLACING TRACKING COLLARS ON LIONS AND AFRICAN WILD DOGS. COLLARING IS AN IMPORTANT PART OF MANAGING AND PROTECTING LION, AFRICAN WILD DOG AND CHEETAH POPULATIONS IN SMALL, FENCED PROTECTED AREAS. IT IS INSTRUMENTAL IN FINDING ANIMALS WITH SNARES ON THEM AS WELL AS LOCATING ANIMALS THAT HAVE LEFT THE BOUNDARIES OF PROTECTED AREAS. TRACKING AND MONITORING THESE PREDATORS CAN HELP RESERVE ECOLOGISTS AND MANAGERS DETERMINE THE GENETICS OF THEIR POPULATIONS; WHICH WILL ASSIST IN ASCERTAINING THE NEED TO RELOCATE TO AVOID INBREEDING. WE SUCCESSFULLY RELEASED SEVERAL CHEETAHS BACK INTO THE WILD AS PART OF ONGOING EFFORTS TO BOLSTER THE SPECIES' POPULATION IN PROTECTED AREAS. 0 16093 49007 NICOLE BENJAMIN FINK PRESIDENT 35.00 0 0 0 ANTOINETTE KOTZE DIRECTOR 10.00 0 0 0 BRIAN REILLY DIRECTOR 10.00 0 0 0 X 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 MN NICOLE BENJAMIN FINK 1200 FORD RD MINNETONKA MN 55305 6128178080 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 NONE NONE 1 X 44547 45113 22812 85285 68943 266700 44547 45113 22812 85285 68943 266700 93152 173548 2179 326 11 226 200 2942 269642 0.64360 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED FORM 990-EZ, PART I, LINE 8 - OTHER REVENUE DESCRIPTION: CHARLES SCHWAB.
