The Canadian Wildlife Health Cooperative: Addressing wildlife health challenges in the 21st century

摘要

In their 2010 report, “Canada’s National Wildlife Disease Strategy: Moving Forward 2010” Canada’s federal/provincial/territorial wildlife directors noted; “enhanced collaboration and coordination is needed to build and maintain an effective national wildlife health program.” The purpose of the Canadian Wildlife Health Cooperative (CWHC) is to meet this need. Firmly rooted in our 6 regional centers, the CWHC works to promote and protect the health of wildlife and Canadians through leadership, partnership, investigation, and action.
