IWRC Works with Research Commons by Mary Cummins Animal Advocates

The International Wildlife Rehabilitation Council IWRC is now working with the Research Commons. This is a great idea. Wildlife rehabilitators are on the front lines of wildlife issues. We are the first to see the results of oil spills, mass die offs and the spread of new diseases. I remember when we first got West Nile Virus in squirrels around 2002 or 2003. It happened around the same time it affected crows here in Los Angeles, California. Would have been great to be able to share our findings, necropsies with researchers to better understand the disease and the threat it posed to humans and other animals.

"The IWRC is so happy to announce a new member benefit - the Research Commons! Wildlife Rehabilitation facilities represent a vastly underutilized resource for wildlife health research and monitoring. Wildlife rehabilitators stand at the intersection between public health and wildlife health; with access to hundreds of thousands of living and dead wild animals annually around the world, as well as a direct line of communication with invested stakeholders in their communities through volunteer programs, wildlife education and conservation efforts, and compelling media stories.

Despite a growing recognition by both wildlife rehabilitators and researchers that there is a great need for partnership and a wealth of data to be mined, the road to collaboration can sometimes be unnecessarily bumpy. To help with that, the Research Commons offer a shared space to put out the call for collaborators from both sides of the equation - researchers who are looking for partners and access to data or samples, and rehabilitators who are facing emerging issues and need help investigating. Add your project today!"
