We explore the most pressing questions in wild animal welfare science.
Our approach
To advance our understanding of wild animal well-being, our team conducts research and supports the growth of the wider research community.
Wild animal welfare science is understudied, novel, and uniquely challenging.
Viewing wild systems through the lens of welfare raises new questions for researchers and wildlife managers. What are wild animals’ lives like? How can we measure their welfare? What can we do to improve their lives? These questions guide our work.
We can’t answer these questions alone.
Progress will require contributions from scientists across a wide range of disciplines and backgrounds. Researchers from animal welfare science, ecology, animal behavior, cognitive science, physiology, and related areas all have valuable skills to offer this burgeoning field.
