Most wild animals struggle to survive every day. Unfortunately, preserving habitats or species does not guarantee that the animals themselves have good lives free of disease, hunger, or other afflictions. Mal Graham (then known as Michelle), Executive Director of Wild Animal Initiative, makes the case for helping animals in the wild live better lives.
