Wildmind provides a forever home to non-releasable wild animals and features them as the "wild teachers" in our environmental and conservation education programs. The animals bring science alive, helping to make connections about our relationship with the natural world to ignite a desire to protect and preserve the animals and habitats where they live. The animals'' individual stories of trauma and transformation help students to develop empathy, respect and a greater understanding of our interdependent relationship with nature and wildlife. Our goal is to inform and inspire the next generation of environmental leaders.
