Veterinary Iniative for Endangered Wildlife (VIEW)

Founded in 2012, Veterinary Initiative for Endangered Wildlife (VIEW) is committed to assisting countries around the world in meeting the health challenges of their endangered wildlife. Our work has been focused in Nepal and emphasizes critical areas of capacity building: training for wildlife veterinarians and managers, supporting the development of much needed wildlife health infrastructure, and facilitating research to better understand wildlife health risks for population recovery. We believe that successful conservation strategies for critical populations must address threats from disease in addition to habitat destruction and poaching pressure. In alignment with country partner priorities, our work in Nepal is focusing on high profile species such as Bengal tigers, One-horned rhinos, and Asian elephants, but the impact of our work will build a foundation for expanding to other countries with similar challenges.
