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 THAT 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. VARIOUS FIELD OPERATIONS WERE CONDUCTED TO PROVIDE AN IMMEDIATE RESPONSE TO INJURED WILDLIFE. EXAMPLES OF INJURED WILDLIFE INCLUDE BUT ARE NOT RESTRICTED TO ANIMALS CAUGHT IN SNARES AND RHINOS SURVIVING POACHERS. 0 3550 ANTI-POACHING WORKSHOPS AND RESEARCH - 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. IN 2024, RHINOS, CHEETAHS AND LIONS WERE INTRODUCED INTO HABITATS WHERE THEY HAVE PREVIOUSLY GONE EXTINCT, MAINLY DUE TO POACHING AND HWC THROUGHOUT AFRICA AND INDIA. IN DEPTH CONVERSATIONS WITH REFORMED POACHERS, LAW ENFORCEMENT, GORILLA RANGERS, AND COMMUNITY MEMBERS YIELD A DEEPER UNDERSTANDING OF INCENTIVES THAT CAN PROMOTE CONVERSATION, IN ADDITION TO CHALLENGES THAT SERVE TO SOLVE CONSERVATION SHORTCOMINGS IN EFFECTIVE FRAMEWORKS. PRACTICES SUCH AS DEHORNING RHINOS, MICROCHIPPING TIGERS, AND COLLARING ELEPHANTS, CHEETAHS, AND LIONS WERE EMPLOYED WITH THE GOAL OF REMOVING THE INCENTIVE TO POACH AND INCREASING THE EFFECTIVENESS OF CONSERVATION STRATEGIES. 0 15000 ANIMAL RESCUES - VETERINARY SUPPORT WAS PROVIDED TO HLUHLUWE IMFOLOZI PARK AND UMKHUZE GAME RESERVE. WE SUCCESSFULLY RELEASED SEVERAL CHEETAHS BACK INTO THE WILD AS PART OF ONGOING EFFORTS TO BOLSTER THE SPECIES' POPULATION IN PROTECTED AREAS. IN 2024, LIONS AND PANGOLINS SAVED FROM THE ILLEGAL WILDLIFE TRADE WERE REINTRODUCED INTO SAFE HABITATS. 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. 0 24673 43223 NICOLE BENJAMIN FINK PRESIDENT 30.00 0 0 0 BRIAN K REILLY DIRECTOR 15.00 0 0 0 RICK DIAMOND DIRECTOR 6.00 0 0 0 CYNTHIA ERICKSON DIRECTOR 6.00 0 0 0 X 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 MN NICOLE BENJAMIN FINK 13911 RIDGEDALE DRIVE SUITE 200 MINNETONKA MN 55305 6128178080 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 NONE NONE 1 X 45113 22812 85285 68943 55225 277378 45113 22812 85285 68943 55225 277378 72094 205284 326 11 226 200 1715 2478 279856 0.73350 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED FORM 990-EZ, PART I, LINE 8 - OTHER REVENUE DESCRIPTION: CHARLES SCHWAB.
