  • Webinar – 8/3/23 – The Intersectionality of Wildlife and Animal Welfare: A Roadmap to Humane Outcomes for Everyone – NACA/Justice Clearinghouse

    Webinar – 8/3/23 – The Intersectionality of Wildlife and Animal Welfare: A Roadmap to Humane Outcomes for Everyone – NACA/Justice Clearinghouse

    More and more animal welfare agencies across the country are beginning to look into the connectivity between the work they do in their communities and the native wildlife that live there. Animal care and control facilities are fielding hundreds of calls yearly each relating to concerns and questions from citizens about native wildlife. Similarly, animal control agencies are becoming increasingly tasked with responding to calls for service in the field relating to wildlife. These increasing trends can leave many agencies in the scramble trying to decide their role in wildlife conservation and conflict mitigation and filling in gaps as they appear.

    This webinar will provide measured steps and benefits for animal welfare organizations and field service agencies to begin engaging in wildlife work and transform the way you respond to these types of situations as they arise all while upholding your humane mission. The benefits for taking the time to engage in these systematic changes are innumerable and include- humane outcomes for wildlife in your community, a reduced workload for officers in the field, increased disease tracking and mitigation techniques, and a greater understanding of how to solve problems that arise with native wildlife.

    This webinar has been certified by the National Animal Care & Control Association and is approved for 1 Continuing Education Unit. Please refer to your NACA membership portal for current CEU submission process. Current NACA Members who attend the live presentation or watch the recording will be able to download a jointly issued attendance certificate that includes the National Animal Care & Control Association logo.
