Alberta Institute for Wildlife Conservation Interview
Injured and orphaned wildlife doesn’t often make it into the wild. These animals can be found through Alberta and often come in contact with humans. To prevent animals from being targeted by poachers and ensure their survival, we have to care for even those considered left on their own. Through rescue, rehabilitation, and release, we ensure these animals fight to see another day.

Alberta Institute for Wildlife Conservation Champions for the Rehabilitation of Injured and Orphaned Alberta Wildlife
#423 Great.com Talks With... Alberta Institute for Wildlife Conservation
Each rehabilitated animal is released into the wild. Since these animals are often left to fend for themselves, the risk of death is greater than ever. However, through human intervention, we can save these animals and ensure their survival for generations. That's why in today's episode, we talked with Holly Lillie, Executive Director at Alberta Institute for Wildlife Conservation.
The Alberta Institute for Wildlife Conservation is a nonprofit organization that fights to preserve the legacy of Canadian wildlife. Since its formation, the organization has taken in more than 34,000 injured or orphaned animals and has successfully nursed them to full health.
Preserving the Legacy of Canadian Animals
The Alberta Institute for Wildlife Conservation achieves its vision through rescue, rehabilitation, and release. These are the three core principles of the organization. In 2022 alone, AIWC has admitted more than 1,700 animals and has released 500 of them back into the wild. They plan on releasing every animal taken into their care by clocking in volunteer hours.
In addition, AIWC has a Wildlife Hotline, where people can call about potential injured or orphaned wildlife needing rescue. With a special dedication to Alberta wildlife, AIWC hopes to ensure the survival of the native species of the Canadian outdoors.
Listen to the whole interview to find out how AIWC cares for the Alberta wildlife. One reason why they do such a good job is thanks to their generous donors. As such, make sure to donate to preserve Canadian wildlife.
