Help Give Wildlife Babies a Second Chance
From deer fawns and bear cubs to robin fledglings, baby hares, and nestling swallows, wildlife baby season is here. Over the coming months, Alberta Institute for Wildlife Conservation (AIWC) will care for more than 1,000 animals—many of them injured or orphaned babies in need of urgent help.
This year marks our 14th annual Wildlife Baby Shower, and we’ve set a goal of raising $25,000 from May 1 to May 31, 2025 to support the care and rehabilitation of these vulnerable animals.
Wildlife often ends up in our care due to human-related causes—window strikes, vehicle collisions, barbed wire injuries, domestic cat and dog attacks, or even well-meaning people unknowingly removing healthy babies from the wild.
Rehabilitating a single animal can cost anywhere from $100 to over $1,000, depending on the species and severity of their injuries. As a non-profit organization, AIWC operates solely through donations and grants, and we can’t do this without you.
Every dollar makes a difference. Your support gives Alberta’s wildlife a second chance at life in the wild.
Thank you for helping us care for wildlife in need.
A gift to AIWC provides injured and orphaned Alberta wildlife a chance to be rescued, rehabilitated, and released back into the wild. As we are funded entirely by donations, each gift from our generous donors gives wildlife a chance to survive and thrive in the wild.
With a donation today, you will join other supporters who believe that wildlife is critical to our survival and the health of our environment. Our supporters believe we have the responsibility to help wildlife, as 95% of animals admitted to AIWC are injured or orphaned due to human activities.
If you choose to give monthly, your gift will make a bigger impact on wildlife that needs it the most. You’ll rest assured that your gift will provide ongoing daily care for injured and orphaned wildlife.
