Addition of All Species
Devin was up all night importing all the species in the IUCN Red List species list. We have tried to keep the list smallish so that the species that would show up would not be overwhelming. We now have accounts on 4 continents and with that we need to add all the known species into our database.
WRMD on the Road
After the 2015 NWRA Symposium in Princeton, New Jersey, we headed out on the road to visit a few centers on the East Coast. Whenever we travel we try to visit other wildlife rehabilitators and wildlife rehabilitation facilities. The more places we visit the more we learn about how wildlife rehab is done the same and or differently throughout the world.
