why donate to win
Please Consider Donating to WIN
According to the National Wildlife Rehabilitators Association, 75% of injured wildlife is caused by our human activities including fishing line and lures, nest tree destruction, power line and vehicle collisions, unrestrained pets, illegal or legal wild “pet” trading, intentional or unintentional poisonings, window collisions, and non-target trapping or shooting. In Pennsylvania, an informal survey of our wildlife rehabilitators puts this percentage closer to 95%.
Wildlife in Need Emergency Response of Pa. (WIN) is an innovative, statewide network
for capturing injured, and orphaned wildlife within the state of Pennsylvania.
